During the conversation my husband Pete asked him if he was a WWII vet and he said yes, and that he had 2 brothers, all of them who were in the war at the same time. He told us that one was a medic in Patton's command, and the other on a naval cruiser, and I forget what his duty was doing. The wonderful part was that he then told us that they all came home safely and when the last one made it home, they all got drunk! I wonder how many families can say that if 3 brothers went off to war that all 3 came home.

God Bless them all... pass, present, and future. Blessings and Peace, Bernie ( USN )
