What are your grandparents WW2 stories?

A part of the Xennial experience for many of us was hearing about WW2 from our grandparents.

My grandpa was too young to enlist until 1944 and was never sent overseas since it was clear the U.S. was going to win by the time he was trained as a pilot.

But my great aunt was on Honolulu when Pearl Harbor was bombed. She remembered going outside and seeing Japanese fighter planes shooting at random civilians during the attack.
