This doesn't count the dozens of relatives who fought in every war from the War for Independence to my brother's guard duty during Viet Nam (His draft number was 2. That's how his luck went. He was lucky to get into the guard. He would have bit it there, I know)
Other grandparents and a few girl cousins as well have served.
RIP most of you. You are remembered and loved as long as I live.
