What are the odds? Not half an hour ago I was walking home from down town and thought about gathering (WWII though) memories from my relatives and then any other surviving (sane) WWII vets in this region.
Strange world, huh?
I can just suggest to do this. Especially when you have relatives. I actually did a video interview with my grandfather. Partly about WW2, but pretty much with him telling stories of his life. I am feeling very satisfied that I have done this.
ontopic:
How were the living circumstances, the comradeship, the overall mood in the army?
What did your family think about you being fighting? Have they been supportive towards you, or did they dislike what you are doing?
Did your point of view on the conflict change when you became part of it? If yes, in which way?
Did you ever feel like fighting people that could as well be your friends or have you always viewed them as fierce enemy?
Have you made any defining experience from the time that you will not forget?
How have you been since you retired from the army/stopped fighting? Did your situation improve and how difficult was it to get back to the jobmarket and a regular life for you?
Do you think that the time and experience overall had a positive impact on you as a person?

That's what comes to my mind right now.
