    Andrew's oldest brother served in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. He is 90 and still with us. Touch old shoe leather Jarhead.
    Her brother closest in age served in Korea and Vietnam. He died from lung cancer about 5 years after retiring. I still believe it was Agent Orange, but he smoked so that was a convenient cause to blame it on.
    Interesting note, he was the camera tech that took arial photos during the Bay of Pigs incident.
    His family did not know I w where he was for about a month.

    Ray, these old guys are what make the USA what it was/is. My Dad served in the Merchant Marine right out of High School, In the Pacific , The Med and places in between.
    I suppose they worried about how the world would turn out just as we do today.
    Please thank Andrew's brother for his service while we still can.

    Prayers sent! And the statement "THE GREATEST GENERATION" is an understatement!
    Thanx to all who served, but especially those who served in 'Nam and were treated with
    disrespect and spat upon, by the witless idiots and potheads of the time!

    It should have read Andrea's brother. Didn't want y'all thinking I was married to someone named Andrew! . Stupid spell check.

    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
