I neglected to include my grandfather in my post. My fathers father.
He served in WW1 and was in the front lines, in the trenches. He too bravely fought for our country.
I have to smile recalling an old story my dad once told me about my grandfather being in the battlefield.
Their latrine was a shallow hole dug in the ground. He was there one day, his laundry down around his ankles taking care of business when enemy fire and shells hit nearby.
No time to finish the task at hand, he dived back into a trench as he was there.
Kinda funny story but I'm sure he wasn't laughing at the time.
Great respect to my grandfather for his service too.
