"The most important thing is that I never got to see our first baby, a little girl, until she was two years old. She was born while we were on the ship going overseas. Four or five days after D-Day we were in an Orchard and I had to stand guard in a Fox Hole. The soldier I had relieved told me, "There is something on the other side of that hedge. Something was making a noise." That was the longest two hours I have ever spent. At the end of the two hours a cow let out a bellow and was I ever relieved. We thought it could have been a German boy."
