I just have to say that reading about your family gave me chills.
I humbly thank each and every active, retired, reserve or any other kind of military member on this board. May God bless you all.
My Dad was WW2 era Army, both brothers career Army, now retired. Being the black sheep, I was 30+ years career fire service (no military service), but the oath of office is similar....and equally irrevocable. God bless our Vets!
