Thanks for sharing this Sarah. Two of Jim’s uncles along with his dad were combat veterans of WWII. One of the uncles was in the invasion of Italy. We believe he was part of the landing in Sicily and then proceeded to Naples. The other uncle was in Southeast Asia; Jim remembers hearing references to Borneo and Thailand. My dad was an Army corpsman in the European theater. My father-in-law was in the invasion of Okinawa. As we go forward in life, it is important to carry the memories of past generations and honor their achievements. The accomplishments of WWII are especially significant now, given the new threats our nation is facing. “One if by land, two if by sea . . .”
