My cousin served in Vietnam also. His brother was assigned to the pentagon during the Vietnam era.
Also 5 of my uncles served during WWII, several saw some serious action.
Happy Veterans Day Dad (1921-2006). Third from left with sleeves rolled up. The pic is from June, 1944 after entering Rome. It just so happened the unit photographer worked for the Newark Evening News before the war and afterwards got the pic to my Dad's sister. My sister has it hanging in her family room.
“On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month…the guns fell silent.”
Hopefully that will be true some day.
Thank you all.🫡

My wife’s uncle. Enlisted as at 17 in 1946 and sent to Japan. Served in the Korean and Viet Nam wars. Flew planes and helicopters and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Still with us and the most interesting man I’ve ever known.
Thanks to all Veterans! Today is your day. We salute you!
All my Uncles were in WWII. One, first wave of the D-Day landings with the Navy piloting a Higgins boat. Made it through the war. Was the nicest guy, a funny guy and a religious man. Never said a word about anything after June 5th.
My dad served in the Air Force during the post war occupation days in beautiful Leon, France. Mostly he played football against other instillations across Europe.
And my younger brother served in the Gulf War. 3rd Tank Battalion out of 29 Pines CA. First in, first out. It aged all of us (5 other siblings) especially my dad. Less than a year later the 3rd merged with the 1st and moved to Okinawa where he finished his last two years. We talk frequently but I always call him on 11/11. It's always a great conversation!
God bless all that served!
