From: jimwall@ilhawaii.net [SMTP:jimwall@ilhawaii.net] | Hi, | My name is Mikael and Iīm a Swedish guy who wantīs to ask anyone on | this list how your return to the civil life after the WWII was? | . Did you feel "older" than your "old" friends (who didnīt serve in | the war)? I don't think so. | | . Did you have difficulties to "socialize" civilian work, go to | movies, dating, and so on? No, because I got married a few days before I went overseas and I came home to a new bride. | | . Did your relation to your parents change? How? A little, but probably more from being married. | | . Do you today have "flashbacks" or thinking alot about what you were | going through back then? Not a lot. More lately since joining a World WAr II mailing list on the internet. In 1954 I joined the 3o3rd Bomb Group Association and the 8th Air Force Historical Association. | | . Have you told your children/grandchildren about what you went | throug? Yes , 50 years later. | | . How did your neighborhood look at you? Did they see you as a | hero/bad guy? A good guy. | | Thank you for your time reading this, and hoping to get lots of | responce from you. You are very welcome James Walling jimwall@ilhawaii.net |
