There were a lot of men who buried their horrors in a bottle of booze. Some men, like my dad, suffered in silence, forever jumpy, nervous about everyday noises and just made it through the best they could. Until recently, there was not a lot of reminders of the war that were graphically accurate and a lot of men put the war behind them and went to work building a future.
