[quote="[187th]ws[eNduRe[MW5]":b0aa7]Why did you start playing a WWII based game??

Well...long story short....after months of tireless research and 100's of hours on the net and in libraries...I discovered that my grandfather had earned 5 service medals which he had never received. So...I started writing letters to the VA and our state congressman presenting the eveidence that I had uncovered and they agreed to issue the medals....

So I took the medals....and a letter of recongnition that they wrote for him....found and purchased certain patches, insignias, and other various items he wore on his uniform and assembled it all in a display case...and on Christmas eve 3 years ago.....presented it to him.....in front of the entire family....it was the most awesome thing I have ever been able to do in my life.....for a man that answered his call of duty, like so many others who made the ultimately sacrifice, when he was only 18. He fought for me and for all of us so that we could enjoy the awesome freedom what we have today.

That's why I play MOHAA and why I enjoy WWII games.[/quote:b0aa7]

Nice, not many people would make the time or effort to do something like that. I became very interested in WWII after reading Citizen Soldiersand watching documenteries on the history channel about three years ago.
