i second that.
my father was in the navy in WWII.
one of my brothers served in the coast guard.
the other was a navy corpsman, attached to a marine unit in the jungles of viet nam.
i served in the army.
my son served in the air force medical field.
so, between us we served in every branch of the military.
i also try to remember all the defenders of freedom from every nation who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us at one time or another throughout our nation's history.
thanks to all.
