- Uncle Earl, WWII, fought in the Pacific on a submarine crew, who can't remember much any more
- Grandpa, WWII, ship's cook on a naval sub, died of cancer in 1998
- Popo, WWII, served in the army in North Africa, died in an accident in 2001
- Daddy, navy submarines, died of a heart attack in 2002
- Bud, my godfather, who was stationed all over before going back and getting his degree at A&M, and who still loves his country, and would probably serve if he could
- Mr. Butler, Korea, my old English teacher I haven't talked to since I graduated high school, but who would tell stories about the trenches and the rations
- Marvin, whose navy tattoos were the first tattoos I remember seeing on a person :-P
- Em's Brad, Iraq, who came home injured, but is doing okay, thank God
And those are just the people I can name. I'm so thankful for everyone who has fought or is fighting. Who are you remembering today?
