fled to Canada and he would have taken me in, but I could never have returned home, as my older brother was a wounded hero of the Korean War and four of my uncles served in World War II. I don't regret one minute of the time I served in the military. I was never in combat, but I went where I was sent and did what I was ordered to do, as did (almost) everyone else in the same situation.
