I had three uncles that served in WWII. My father received a deferment due to having an important production position Tennessee Coal and Iron. He was also 35 at the time.
My dad said the only times he ever saw his father cry was when his youngest brother, then nineteen, headed for basic with the Navy and when he returned at war’s end.
Thank you to all of those whose commitment and dedication has kept and continues to keep our nation safe and free.
