Dad was a guard at a reservoir in upstate NY during WWII
Before his enlistment and subsequent deployment to Anzio, my dad was one of several guards at a reservoir in upstate NY. Our government was concerned about sabotage to our water system.

It's not well known that three groups of German saboteurs landed on our shores in 1942 and, while they were mostly caught quickly some made it as far inland as Cincinnati. There was a very real danger. Here's a link to one article about the events:

The Ovaltine Cafe is a traditional diner in the Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, known for its traditional decor. The cafe was opened in 1942 and has served as a set for movies and television shows that want to film in a restaurant with an old-fashioned appearance.
