Who do you have to remember?
Stories like the one below always concern me.
Of my dad and uncles, all served in WW2, all came home. My uncle Roy, oldest, went in on a deal - serve now and train up the new recruits then you'll be done. Ha. Army speak for being in London for the Blitz.
My day, youngest, never left the shores of the USA. He stayed in longer to help recover the Pacific fleet - they did their duty, least you can do is stay on and let them get home.
Army and Navy. No Marines. No Air Force in WW2 - but none were in the Air Corp either.

Of that generation, only 3 remain - my mom, dad, and mom's sister. All are 90+
No family info on WW1.
