Wow, your Dad is a real hero: "Frozen Chosen"

When I was in Germany an old vet struck up a conversation with me while waiting in line for some food. I complained about the bad weather at the time and made some other small talk.

He later mentioned he was at Chosin...an amazing story.

I had a hard time complaining about the weather after that.
