One of my uncles fought in the "Bulge", and my late father-in-law went ashore with the Big Red 1 at Omaha Beach. Two uncles fought in Korea and a brother in Vietnam. We were fortunate. They all returned, as did my father-in-law's three brothers.

If we don't take the time to remember all that they sacrificed and all that they did, our children and grandchildren will be repeating their efforts.
