How awesome... Those were our parents just different faces... I had a dad, 2 Uncles, 3 Great Uncles 2 Grand Fathers and a step Dad, who all served as Sailors, Navy Pilots, Merchant Seamen... Makes me proud... As I understand it, one or the other fought in every battle in the Pacific, from 1941 till 1954... Yes, Korea... One Uncle was like me as a teenager, so he join at 16, he was a real big guy 6'4", in 1939... He got out a Chief Boilermaker... My dad's brother was a pilot, git out in 52 as a Lt. Commander... My other Uncle was a flying crewman on PBY's , he got as a ensign, pretty cool...
