QotD: Memorial Day
Do you know any war veterans?

I have my dad's dog tag from when he served in the Army during Vietnam. He was stationed in Texas. He died of cancer in 2005 and has no headstone anywhere. If he did he would not want a US flag anywhere near it.
My grandpa Frank was in the Army during the last bit of WWII. He turned 20 in 1945, so he was a young soldier. He was stationed somewhere in the South for a while, where he learned to fly a plane. He often mentions how much fun he had flying and swerving between thunder heads. The only "action" he saw was in the form of whisky and friendly southern girls.
