71. No. 1--To my Dad, U.S. Navy, WWII, PO1, Aviation Metalsmith 1.

Sun Nov 11, 2012, 04:15 PM

Nov 2012

Also, and in semi=chronological order of service:

My great uncle X3--Grand Army of the Republic (union army), Civil War, Michigan artillery.

My grandfather and his brother, my great-uncle, U.S. Army, g-u received purple heart.

My uncle (mother's brother), Tech. Sargent, U.S. Army Air Force, tail gunner and radioman in bomber in Pacific Theater

My uncle (my Dad's brother-in-law), PO1, U.S. Navy, WWII.

My aunt (mother's sister), Captain and Flight Nurse, U.S. Air Force, Korean Conflict

My uncle (my aunt's husband), Captain and Pilot, U.S. Air Force, Korean Conflict.

All are gone now, but I hope to see them again in a better place.
