Thank you, Evan, for the remembrance and your memories. What a wonderful legacy
to have in your family.
I’ve mentioned before but all my brothers and my sister (and I) were in one
branch of the military or the other, many at the same time. My sister served as
an Army nurse in MASH units in Korea, and the Navy, Coast Guard, Army and
Marines all had one or two of us in there. Then my daughter, son, 2 SsIL were
in the AF. AND an awesome nephew recently retired (Colonel), after serving as
an Army nurse in all the ‘hot’ zones that we have been involved in his 25 years
of service… Some of us were enlisted, some were officers, but ’they’ all
served and did it well.
OH! Hey, I got that Good Conduct medal, too… probably one of the least
deserved of all the above!!!!!!!!
In memory of all who served, from Armistice Day to today’s Veteran’s Day

I have often talked about my aunt who performed as a magician at 104. But,
today I remember my uncle Don, her kid brother.
Don served as a machine gunner on Okinawa. He was awarded the Presidential
Citation Navy and Marine Corps, WWII Medal of Valor, American defense Service
award, Combat Action Citation, Good Conduct Medal, (probably the only member
of my family that deserved that), The Navy Occupied Service Medal and the
American Campaign Medal.
I remember so well when he returned from the war. Don stood 6' 3" and was the
best of our family. I remember him as my friend, my uncle and the person who
everyone turned to when the family had a problem.
Today more than most, I remember him and his service to our country.
