Let's pull it up on the phone.

The nightmare brick in our pocket might have the answer.

For sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just, you know, very, very limited because my grandfather just didn't want to talk about it too much, you know.

But he did share a couple little stories like that with my uncle.

And my uncle, again, he was, he wrote books and he wrote articles and whatnot, and he was able to document

my grandpa and what he had done.

And so when I wrote a book that came out in 2019 and I talk about my family history and I pull some of my uncle's stories about my grandfather and just stuck them in the book, you know, because that's what I know.

But I wish, you know, I'd been aware as a kid to just talk about

Even my Uncle Jerry, I never really talked to him much about his service.

He was on a ship in the Pacific during the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

And then he was part of the occupying force in Japan after the surrender.

But he lived in Texas and I just never engaged with him very much.

Do you know what ship he was on?

Because it looks like a battleship.

No, that's just a superimposed picture.

We just grabbed a ship and put him in front of it.

But he was on a landing ship tank.
