The Untold Story of WWII Submariners | The Color of War

Thanks. My dad was a WWII submariner. Lied about his age to volunteer. At the war's end, he and a couple of shipmates found all trains, buses and planes fully booked for the next few weeks with military wanting to get home ASAP. They grabbed a cab, told him they wanted to go to Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan. God Bless the cabbie for saying, "Let’s go!"
