My Dad went 3 years after the war to Germany to rebuild communication systems in the Army. They were still being shot at in the field running phone lines. I guess up on the pole was not a good place to be. Grand Dad fought in the Pacific. God bless those Guy's

My Grandpa, "Tex", was in D-Day+ as a lineman as well . . .I remember him talking about learning to use the spikes and being shot at " like a sitting duck at the top of a pole."

He came back from the war, went straight to work for Bell-South with the skills he learned as a teenager preparing for D-Day, had a family and retired with that same company at 55 years old . . .a gentle and good man - salt of the Earth. My Dad's Dad - Chuck, joined the Navy to fight in the Pacific at 16 years old . . ."fudged" his birthdate like so many young men did after Pearl Harbor. Sure do miss you two - they don't make 'em like you and "the boys" anymore!
