I love history, it's what got me into metal detecting. I like to remember my Grandfather. He was a kind, loving, gentle giant. He's been gone since 2004, but I think of him often. I'll forever carry my memories of him and the talks we had.
I was just 20 when he passed on.
My Grandfather grew up poor and served our country in WW2. He was enlisted at Camp Forrest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Forrest
He didn't really talk much about the war. He told me he was in Okinawa, Korea and the Philippines.
I have some of his military manuals that he had when he was in the war and a world globe. He was wounded and lived the rest of his life with a bullet in his leg and throat but he got along well! He earned various medals.
I also have a quilt his mother made. Even after all these years it's in great shape and keeps me warm in winter.
My Grandpa is on the left, hands at his side.
