I COME FROM A FAMILY OF 13 AND 10 OF US HAS SERVED AS A BROTHER OR BROTHER - IN-LAW IN THE MILITARY ALL THE WAY FROM WW2 TO THE GULF WAR. FOUR WERE COMBAT WOUNDED. YESTERDAY I LOST MY ELDEST BROTHER( 84) WHO WAS A MARINE DURING KOREAN WAR STATIONED ON A RUNWAY IN JAPAN AS A CRASH AND RESCUE PERSON ON A FIRE TRUCK AS FIGHTER JETS CAME IN TO SHOT UP TO FUEL OR LAND. EXPLODING ON IMPACT. RELOADING FUEL AND AMMO AS NEEDED. HE ONCE TOLD ME SOME TERRIBLE STORIES OF WAR THAT HE WISHED HE COULD FORGET. HE DIED DUE TO PROSTRATE CANCER. AS I RELATE THIS I THINK OF MY OTHER WOUNDED BAND OF BROTHERS FROM THE SAME FAMILY. I WENT THROUGH IT ALSO AND I STILL RELIVE IT TODAY AT TIMES AS THIS. WE WILLINGLY PUT OUR LIVES OUT THERE ON THE LINE FOR THOSE TODAY IN AMERICA. MY QUESTION RUNS THROUGH MY MIND TODAY ,WAS IT WORTH IT? MY SAME ASWER IS YES.
