A big thank you to all the men and women who have served our country.
I am very proud of my father. He served in both WWI and WWII. Apparently,as a teenager, he lied about his age and joined the army. ( not many birth certificates back then) He was born in 1899.
I am sorry I don't know any of his war stories but I do know he was stationed in France and Germany during world war II. He made the army his career although I think he came out of the army after WWI for a while.
Sadly, he died the week before my 10th birthday, so I don't know much about his youth. I just know that I am very proud of him.
Happy Veteran's day

My grandfather served in WW2 and the Korean War, but he never saw any combat.
I remember thinking about you when I passed the hospital where you were born in Washington DC during my trip there in '07. We were on the Mall on Veteran's Day and it was very moving to see the veterans who were there.
