Little late contributing here. I've been fortunate to not experience any loss of military life whether be family or close friends. However I'm always thankful for, and thinking of our military past and present. If you have time and interest, there's a podcast called Blueprint for Armageddon by Dan Carlin (Dan Carlin's Hardcore History) and it's all about WWI. It's reshaped my respect and admiration for those who have served in wars. My family enjoyed a beautiful weekend being free and enjoying American life at its best. All because of the many brave folks who've fought for freedom and I for one, am eternally grateful.
