Some were too old or two young at the time.
My Father was born in 1901 so he was too young for WWI.
I am number 13 of 16 so you can see that not all my siblings were the right age to be called in.
One Sister was in the Army Air Force. The other 4 didn’t serve in the military. However some of their children have been in the Armed Service.
Good to meet you, 13 of 16. I’m 9 of 12. lol.
My dad was the only one who served in the military. He was drafted. There are only 2 boys and they’re into farming. My sister married into a military family where just about EVERYBODY was military. Several nephews, including my godson, are either in or going into the military. My godson was just commissioned in the USMC.
