Those who have been through WW2

In my childhood memory, my father was a person was easily irritated by people or things arround him. His unpredictable temparement was the root cause of his alienation from his eight children. As a result, my sibbling and I never have the chance of knowing who our father was. I use of visit my father more frequently after my mum died in year 1991,. It was during that 8 years that i have a chance to have a glimpse about my father. He told me about his childhood days and his war days....Today, i am grateful to God for healing that he has done to my father. This piece of knowledge about my father has motivated me to look further to know the life of those who has gone through WW2.
