– Dick Davy
When you see some of the photos in Dick's Feature, you'll know the meaning of "it took a lot of us to do it". It is known that only a small percentage of WWII veterans actually fought in combat. That means the millions more who served filled the roles without which the war simply would not have been won. Think about the American factories and the millions who mechanized the military. Then think about the countless number who supplied, built, and administered the war effort - the staggering logistical side of WWII. If combat soldiers were the tip of the spear, logistics were the spear itself. Here is one such invaluable story...the often unseen heroes who won the war. And a bonus story: Dick was there for the Atomic Bomb tests of the 1950's.
This is: "Davy, a service story".
