Sorry to bring this up again but the 2 uncles were from my Mom's family. On my Dad's side his oldest brother was a Col. and was shown on the cover of the LIFE magazine. My Dad could not go because of a heart problem and the youngest brother was a high guy a International Harvester making "stuff" for the war. I just didn't want to leave my Dad's family out of that post. Just kinda of an FYI. the uncle that lost his dog in the Pacific would not take a dog from me. He never had a dog again.
