Weston from all accounts I heard was a man I would of loved to serve with. I never knew him and teared up when hearing his friend discussing his character and leadership. Rest easy sir, drinks are on me when I get to the hall.Originally Posted by JHC

My Uncle Harry who served in WWII in Europe and died in 1987. He was a second father to me and raised me for many years:
I have a photo album of him in WWII put together by a friend from his unit. In it came this letter:
A few years ago I decided to look \ the person who sent this letter and photo album to my late Uncle Harry. I'd been putting it off for years. As I'd suspected, he is no longer with us. It turns out that he died a few months after my uncle in Oct 1987, 18 years after he wrote the letter and sent him the album: Here is what I found:

And many others.
Sgt. James C. Brown, waist gunner in B17s flying from England when it wasn’t statistically impossible to survive. Father-In-Law and good friend.
The only member of his crew to survive the war. He was pulled off a mission to work in the armory and help with a bunch of new 50s. A new replacement gunner flew that mission, and the pane was shot down without survivors. He continued to fly, made his missions, and extended for more. Never got a scratch. Passed away in 1999.

RIP to my grandfathers. Army, artillary scout in the ETO in WWII; Navy, Pacific Theater, USS Columbia.
RIP as well to my Great-grandfather and namesake, IS Army, WWI. Gassed in the trenches and never fully recovered.
All of them lived to see their families grow and prosper. In remembrance of them and their brethren who were not as fortunate.

Let us honor all, regardless of service branch, who gifted this country with their sacrifice.
