My grandfather fought for the ninth infantry, 26th field artillery division. He saw 304 days of action in Algeria – French Morocco, Tunisia, and Sicily then D-Day, through Belgium, the Rheinland, Huertgen Forest, Ardennes into Central Europe.
He was, and I kid you not, literally on the train on his way home after having completed his time in the army. While on the way, the train stopped and it was announced that Pearl Harbor had just been attacked the train would only be continuing to the next stop for ALL men on board (who were all soldiers) to get off and take a return train back where they could be prepared for deployment.
