My uncle is a Vietnam veteran as well. He rarely talks about his time there, but when he does I grab hold and listen.

Also, my grandfather was a veteran of WW2, and while I saw pictures of him from the war (he was a radar technician in Virginia), he rarely and I mean rarely as well spoke about it. (He has passed on now).

I, thank your dad for his service.

I, thank you for sharing about your dad as well. We can learn a lot from their service in the wars.

And no need to share anymore than you want to about your dad if you dont want too. His privacy is respected.
