<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 24627290, member: 100459"]My father was in the U.S. Navy during WWII. After the war, he was discharged and worked at an RCA Production Company in Indianapolis. He tried to get back into the Navy, but could not get his rank back. He later enlisted into the U.S. Army, working with the Medical Corps. After his Army training, he was transferred to Landstuhl U.S. Army Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. We followed him to Germany a few months after him. I was about 6. I had a ball living in Germany. They were some of the nicest people I ever met. My parents hired a maid/"babysitter". I learned to speak German better than my English, but soon after we went back to the states, I was only about 8 and forgot most of my German. We became quite attached to them. While there, I collected several German coins.. issued before, during, and after WWII. Due to my youth, I lost them. Many of them had been issued during WWII. My father did not want anything related to WWII in our home. He lost many of his friends and relatives during WWII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
