Yeah it makes me think of my Mom's uncles. One fought in Iwo Jima and the other in Germany. Her uncle in the Pacific lived. My great uncle in Germany was wounded in that horrible battle in Belgium that no one knows about (Huertgen) and froze to death in his foxhole in ‘44. This song came out in ‘43. Too many of them only made it home in their dreams.
