My dad was a visiting teacher in homeschool co-op today. He taught a class on military logistics/vehicles from WW II. The image on the board is a "duck" (a truck that floats and can move onto shore a short way).
I think it is wonderful when kids hear about real history from the people who actual lived it. As a country we don't have very many WWII vets left and I think it is more important than ever they speak up!
It's neat that your dad got to share and the kids got to hear from a "real" WWII vet. I've ridden in those "duck boats" in Wisconsin Dells and always thought they were very cool.
