My grandpa enlisted in the Army at the age of 17 and served at the front during WWI. His six sons were all military men, Army, Navy, or Marines. The three Marines, 18, 19, and 21 were in the Korean Conflict at the same time, in the same general location, and under miserable conditions. All seven returned home intact in body and went on to raise families of their own. Many of my cousins have also served with honor in the military and none have been lost to war — cause for much thankfulness as we remember all those who have been.
