Today marks the 20th anniversary of my grandfather's death. He wanted to serve his country in WWII, but was told that he was too old and small. He was hell-bent on going, so he was told that he could enlist as a cook. It was not his dream enlistment, but he served his time. Years after, he gained some perspective on his tenure in the army and was proud to say that he was a cook for the Army. It may not have been the part he wanted to play, but he was proud to have served his part in some way.
Anyway, thinking about him got me thinking about all of you. Thank you doesn't suffice, but words are all I have. Thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for your strength, thank you for your spirit, thank you for serving and having DHs who serve in uncertain times. You all are an inspiration and, even if you get told this on a daily basis, it would still not be anough.

Thank you for sharing this story. Your grandpa sounds like he was an amazing man! My grandfather passed away this past October, he was also a WWII vet..
My husband is a cook (by choice though) and he loves it since that is one of his passions. Many people do not really respect cooks though, it's sad really.
Thank you for sharing your story!
I am medic in a medical unit, and I tell our cooks they are the single most important section we have! Moral goes right through the floor if a unit isn't well fed, and our cooks work miracles with the rations they are given. NEVER underestimate the importance of a good military cook!
