I’m 70 and wanted to read more about -“the greatest generation “ I was in awe how these super seniors memories of WWiI were still so vivid and yet most of them came home to lead normal lives and have wifes and children. Their stories were so gruesome it’s hard to believe they could have lead normal lives. The courage and bravery is hard not to respect and I will tell you I cried listing to their stories and was very overwhelmed at times. I want to thank Andrew Biggio for looking for these men and putting their stories down for future readers. They are truly the Greatest generation! (Side note- I am the niece of an uncle I never met-but my grandmother told me about my uncle always holding her sons picture-Francis Patrick Currey Jr – born August 9,1924 -who was a signal man on the USS Leopold coast guard ship under the navy-he joined when he was only 17- on December 1941 the USS Leopold was part of an escort for destroyers on to the British isles when in March 9,1944 it was struck by a torpedo and went down 144 men were lost and 28 survived .He is commemorated in a US cemetery in Cambridge, England and was awarded a Purple Heart and 3 other service metals posthumously.
