My mom’s 5 brothers all went. They all made it home. I could see it in their eyes as a youngster when they said something in passing. They never talked much about it.
Dad was too young. Born 1930 him and mom. War was over. R.I.P. Good parents. Kids having kids. I was 1950. Sis ‘52.
BIL who passed at 91, went out on the 2nd ‘Lady” USS Lexington, my Bio Dad, was last of Horse Calvary, lived to 97.
