Oral+History+Reflection

===In most of the instances when I have learned about war we have studied the bloodshed, death, families torn apart, bombings, shootings, and the front line. This assignment has shed light on an entirely different aspect of war. I learn is the vital role that support staff play in providing the necessary items for the people on the front lines. Support staff such as mechanics, who made sure that airplanes, trucks, and tanks were fixed when they broke down enabled the front lines to fight as affectively as possible. My grandpa was a mechanic during the Korean War. === === What I learned through the interview is that he played a vital role without experiencing the death, pressure, and pain of war. He did his work as though it were a job in the United States with eight hours a day fixing vehicles, eating meals regularly, and going to bed without hearing the bombs going off. He understood what war meant and I am thankful that he wasn’t on the front lines. ﻿ ===
