I thought with the upcoming holiday that some people might want to share what some of our loved one's did, in defense of our country.

My Uncle Joe served in WWII, (Navy), in the Pacific. A quiet man who never talked about the war when I was growing up. He only started to talk about it, nearing the end of his life. He was awarded several medals and they held a day of honor for him in my hometown. He was off the coast of Japan when the first A-Bomb was dropped. He said that a lot of American lives were saved because they didn't have to invade Japan.

A humble guy who just did what he had to do honor the USA.

I am honored to have the same first name as him.

Please share your stories.
