My Dad was still a kid during the war, but eventually served in the Navy as radio operator on the U.S.S. Ranger. And my paternal grandfather and his brother volunteered for WWI. My grandfather delivered ammunition to the front on horseback, I have his discharge papers. His brother served at the front and was one of the few survivors of a tough battle. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star in the days just before the pandemic. Two Congressional districts brought his four surviving kids flags that had flown over the Capitol. They were very excited since they'd never honored a WWI veteran before. And I whispered to his daughter, "I wonder if they know we're Democrats??"
