I too observe these days, especially Pearl Harbor Day.

My Uncle was a combat medic, even though Packard Motor Company got him a deferment, he refused to use it. He survived 4 amphibious landings.

Vichey French Morrocco

Sicily

Italy

Normandy

During the Battle of the Bulge, he was part of the 48 hour march with General Patton to relieve the 101st Airborne at Bastonge. He finished the war under Patton's command, and went all the way to Czechoslovakia. For all the battles and invasions he was involved with, he never was wounded, and in the 3 years he was in combat, he only lost one man he had tended to.

We lost him in early September 2001.
