I talked to my mother about WW2 and I really didn't get much out of her. She says her family really wasn't affected by WW2 in a significant way. She did however, tell me that my grandfather, Felipe Justino Garcia Loyo, was a merchant marine during WW2. He told her that on his trade route he went to Japan and witnessed some pretty crazy things. He saw the bodies of Ally prisoners impaled on spikes in the streets of a certain town.
I also talked to my father about WW2, and again, did not get anything substantial. His father, John Stoner Ross, would have enlisted if he could have. He had terrible eyesight and they wouldn't allow him to serve. So he didn't. That's about it.
