There still hasn't been anything even remotely like WWII in the intervening years, and I suspect in the deep future this 75 year span will be considered as one of a uniquely peaceful era in human history. We just now know about every little blip because of information technology such as it has never been before.
Cheers to your Dad and Uncle, and their service for us all. So glad you got them both back. I lost a couple of Uncles, along with one who came home, but you dare not walk up behind him unannounced, back while I was young.
