Hear hear.
My mother lost two cousins to war, one was an Air Force pilot flying an F-84 over Korea and the other was a Navy Hospitalman who died when his helicopter was shot down coming into an LZ to drop off Marines.

I have cousin on the same side of the family that served on the carrier Eisenhower in the Eighties. He got to go ashore in Lebanon right after the Beirut bombings to serve as a quartermaster. He thought he was serving a hitch in the Peacetime Navy.
