4. My dad was in the Navy then, too

He was an Electrician's Mate towing target barges for naval gunnery practice off Hawaii, but his brothers were in hard combat in the Army and Marines.

And dad's three sons served later. My older brother got out of the Marines just before Vietnam. And my little brother and I served together in Vietnam. Sorry, though--we were both Army.
