No pictures, just memories. My father was in the Army 1960-62, discharged just as the Cuban Missile Crisis was happening, his brother was in the Navy four years around the same time in the Pacific fleet, I never learned the name of his ship or ships; their older half brother was in the Navy during WWII serving aboard the destroyer escort USS Booth, and their father was drafted into the Army in 1918. Grandad was shipped to Europe in 1918, but the war ended before he saw any combat. Two of my maternal grandmothers brothers were in the Navy during WWII, seeing combat duty around Guadalcanal in 1942; one brother's ship was sunk and the other brother's ships crew picked him up from the water. I was never around most of these guys except for Dad, and was younger when some died so that's all I know about them.
