Oh don't I know it.
The irony is that one of the aforementioned family members was grateful for what "Uncle Joe's" armies did to the Germans, making his job a helluva lot easier (Stars and Stripes covered the progress on the Eastern Front). The other family member, stationed in Bavaria with the rest of Company E of the 101st Airborne, was a little miffed, as were his comrades. He and they felt they'd earned the right kick Hitler's ass in a very up-close and personal way.
Yes...THAT Company E. The reason he's not in Ambrose's book or the HBO miniseries is because he told the research assistant who called him that he didn't want to relive the war, thank you very much.
