Hughes Family
Within every family in America there lies a story or a hero who gave their all defending what we have and hold dear. This is one of our family stories. Meet my Grandfather Richard Hughes, Uncle Frank 'Bud' Hughes and 'Gram' Mayme Hughes. 
Uncle Bud participated in the European theatre during WWII. During the course of his deployment he was among those who witnessed the aftermath at Dachau prison encampment. He did not speak much about the war at all but while I was in college I was staying with him and my cousin for a basketball tournament. While I was there - he watched a couple documentaries on WWII. He didn't share any information with me directly, but as I sat on the couch he did correct the narrator as to what equipment was shown and used during the war. That in itself was more than we ever expected him to share. |
