I never told my father thanks, nor did I tell my older brother but I never forget to tell my Uncle. All three of these men served our country during times of strife. My father and Uncle both served in WWII in the European theater, they both served in the Korean conflict, and 3 tours each in Viet Nam, and when President Bush (1) was looking for volunteers for Desert Storm....my father (who was retired at the time) raised his hand, passed the physical but wasn't activated. My father received the Bronze Star with V, and a purple heart (twice). I need to ask my Uncle what he received. My older brother served in Viet Nam, 3 tours also, had his helicopter shot down twice wasn't injured due to the excellent flying skills of the pilot/co-pilot. My younger brother did a peacetime tour in Korea. Me, I was the lucky one, I did my time stationed at the Pentagon. Thanks CJ.
