3757 - What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? (Col (Ret) Lawrence H. Saul)
Course Description
Instructor: Larry Saul
The vast, overwhelming majority of Baby Boomers never knew what their fathers did in WWII. The simple reason is because the men of the Greatest Generation simply did not talk about their experiences, especially those who fought in combat. While the topic is limited primarily to the role that men played in the war, we will also look at the contributions of women. Our mothers often worked dangerous, yet vital jobs. This class is designed to help you find answers about your parents’ WWII experience.
