My great uncle, Army National Guard, 27th Infantry Division, 105th Infantry Regiment, fought with the Marines in the Pacific. Going back to civilian life, it took a year or more to happen for him. He fought in the worst of it, hand to hand etc. and only shared glimpses of what he went through with a scant few people, his sister who raised him after their mother died, my father US Army 7th SFG ABN Civ. Affairs detachment, and my grandfather, a Navy veteran of WWI, and Merchant Marines in WWII survived getting blown out of a ship in the Atlantic after a U-boat torpedoed his ship.
Interestingly enough, he worked until he was 86, had several patents with the company for his designs, raised a large family, built his own house with salvage materials, was the best family man there was, it was always great to see him. He was a boxer in the Army, played and coached basketball, and was awarded 2 Bronze Stars.
