My Serbian Grandmother had 4 sons who served, 2 in Europe(1 in the Battle of the Bulge), 2 in the South Pacific. They have all since passed. All hard-workers, good family men, proud Americans.
My 4 grandparents - paternal both Serb and maternal both Polish, all came through Ellis Island. Serb grandfather fought in WWI, they had 9 kids, 3 boys all served, navy, army , coast guard and daughter, army sergeant, all in WWII. One uncle I never met died at Anzio. Military service was big in our family and they were proud and happy to fight for our country. Serb grandfather as a private in WWI was singled out to teach his platoon bayonet skills after they saw how he went after the dummy in training. He also survived the influenza epidemic and was studied by many doctors who couldn’t figure out why he was the only one who did not get sick and die. He told them it was because he ate garlic. RIP all of them.
