Re: Family Members
My father and his two brothers all served in US armed forces. My father was in a mechanical unit with the US Army Air Corps from 1942-1946. He spent most of that time in Florida but did finish his service with several months on Guam, after the armistice in the Pacific had been concluded.
His middle brother served in the Navy aboard the carrier USS Hornet (CV-12) and his youngest brother was a gunner on a long range bomber crew (B-24 I believe) as part of the 8th Air Force and completed 30 bombing missions and dozens of sorties over Germany and occupied territories. He finished his missions prior to D-Day (he volunteered just after his 18th birthday in January 1942) and was later an instructor at a school in Florida.
