It’s War

Meaning gets lost in the termnology sometimes. Pray for peace but prepare for War. Seems to me the United States of America has been a Dove long enough. The Hawk is past due to watch over our land.
You'll find that 'dove' thing a hard sell in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, and a host of African countries.
 
Same here. For your Dad to be in Europe two years, he must've been in one of the units that started out in North Africa, then went to Sicily, Italy, France, Germany and was in Austria when the war ended.
Might have my time line off. My Dad landed after D-day. He was a medic with the 66th Field Hospital. (First medical unit into Dachou.) He was in flight school in Miami when Hap Arnold washed everyone out to get bodies to Europe.

Our fathers were essentially in the same place at the same time. Mine was with the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion, attached to the 3rd Infantry Division when it liberated Dachau. Your dad's unit was probably called in immediately to tend to the inmates the Germans left behind.
