Hello dear @samsmith1971,
Thank you for your confidence and encouragement. I really do think if I do this right it will add something to our understanding of what it's like to be in the thick of battle. My husband has said fear was not his chief response to war. It was the way he lived. It was always being outside, and wet. It was the rats. It was the sheer quality of life. It's possible he is still not fully acknowledging the fear.
He does seem very willing to share. I'm glad that we're getting it down (here's hoping!) so that my children will see a side of him that helps them understand who he is.
Thank you for your support.
