Always more than willing to talk about it. Ann's dad served on the ground in Korea and never (like never) talked about. And that that reflects my experience with veterans of those two wars. The closer they were to the horror the less they opened up about it. Air and Navy men who successfully kept their distance have a different view and story to tell. Those in the heat of it kept it to themselves - mostly.
