Both are living.....and looking good for 86 years plus. The old man was a recruiter for most of his years in the Army (what a saleman he was.....I am just a chip off the old block). My mother met my father in New Jersey during WWII. She retired as a Sgt first class...Yikes! I can still remember the bugle call every morning.....kiddin. I love my parents and I believe the service had lots to do with how they became the outstanding people that they are. I never joined the service....but I respect the people who have served and the ones that are currently serving.
God Bless those who have lost thier lives to serve & protect!!!
Thank You!
