My dad was #6 of seven brothers, and turned 13 on December 11, 1941 - the day Germany declared war on the US. He joined up at 19 in 1947, so obviously missed the war. Of his five older brothers, I'm not sure about two of them, but I'm told that three served in the navy during the war, and one of them was at Pearl Harbor. All of them survived the war.
