My father served as a Seabee in the push on Tokyo, and my uncle was lucky enough to survive a full 25 flights as navigator of a B-17 over Germany, including Dresden. Only about 30% in his group survived 25 bombing runs. Neither of them spoke about their service. Prying out one word was a challenge. They both went on to become very successful self-made entrepreneurs.
