You are welcome.

And thank you and your family for their service.

My father was in the PTO, a US Navy combat officer commanding an LCI.

Several of his uncles on that side also fought.

My mother’s oldest brother was in a B-17 crew and was killed over Belgium in 1944. HIs aircraft took an 88mm round, dirct hit before they could drop their bombs. He didn;t get out...he was in the lower gun turret.

A farmer found his remains in 1946 and they were ultimately returned to the US and buried,

God bless them all, we owe them a debt of gratitude and honor for our freedom.
