I have a very high respect for my father-in-law who survived the World War 2. He served the Army together with his two brothers who were also got drafted in the military at the same time but served in two separate or different posts. His brother who was assigned in Germany was killed during the battle and never made it home, his body was buried there. It must be so hard for their Mom, I can't even even imagine how painful it was for her and the rest of the family.
I think he inspired my husband to join the Navy and now a veteran himself as well. (I will update this post later).

Very cool, my Dad also served in WWII. He was a radio tower operator for the bombers.

WHAT a WONDERFUL WAY to honor a WORLD WAR II veteran!! Kate, ABC Team
My husband was a Lancaster Pilot in World War 2 - he lost both his brothers in France and Germany. A sad time and I am very mindful of the sacrifice they made.
we appreciate all their sacrifices for the country.

A wonderful post. I agree with you, can't even imagine how hard that must be for the Mother and the rest of the family.
I think one of the greatest services of respect we can do for our war heroes is posts such as this one. That, and not letting our children and grandchildren forget.
My father sailed with the allied forces all through the war. He would have been 110 years old. At sea he had seen many ships sinking. He didn't know where we were. He had heard about the concentration camps, but didn't know how bad they were. War is hell, Rose and you are right to honour all vets. So do we !

Thank him for his service from me! God bless him and all the others who fought during WWII. They have our hearts!
He is indeed someone to be admired and respected, as all of those who had sacrificed a lot in WW2. This is a great W post, sis.
Nice !
