I still get together with two guys who were on boats with me. We don't talk about it when we are together. But we enjoy being together, knowing we'd do anything for each other.
Some things are just better left unsaid.
Jim, i'd only say one thing and that is if nothing else to make a video record of your experiences. At some point in their lives, your kids will want to know; I wish my dad had done that (it would have been just a written account) and my mom did do that (I treasure her video of her WWII experience) and now I'm sharing that with my sons and granddaughter.
