Summary
In this week’s episode of The Curio Report, I embark on a deeply personal journey to uncover the life of my grandfather, Lierd Elton Grant—a WWII veteran whose experiences during the war, and the aftermath of his service, profoundly shaped his life and legacy. Through family histories, interviews, and a dive into the untold stories of The Hump—the legendary airlift over the Himalayas that supplied China during the war—I piece together the fragments of Lierd’s service. His story is one of love, sacrifice, and hardship, reflecting the broader struggles of a generation forever marked by the war. This episode is more than a family history; it’s a tribute to the resilience of those who served and a reminder of the lasting impact of their sacrifices. Join me as I seek to connect with a grandfather I never knew, and perhaps, find a deeper understanding of the man and his time.
