All of my uncles served in WWII. My dad flunked his induction physical and wound up in Portland, OR as a millwright in a sawmill cutting shoring for the shipyard in Vancouver.
I entered high school 12 years after VJ Day. We had 2 Japanese kids as classmates, pretty rough time for both of them. Just recently I learned one of them was born in the internment camp in Idaho. Both of his uncles interned there fought in Europe.
