CTLawyer -I am a 3rd generation American on my mother’s side. My grandfather and great uncle both served in WWI at the ages of 17 and 18 years old. My grandfather was shot and left for dead, dog tags sent home and a farm couple found him unconscious and nursed him back to health.
I try to imagine how my grandmother managed WWII with her son, son in law, and brother all fighting. My great uncle was there at pearl harbor and my kids were fascinated to hear him give a first hand account. When he died two years ago my boys were given a siddur he received from the chaplain when he served.
