My Grand-papa, my son's great-grandpa, served in the 20th Artillery Regiment from 1940 to 1946. Here he is looking so handsome in his uniform. I see my brothers in him. It's the jaw I think. I phoned my grandparents this morning and asked if I could hear the story of my grandpa in the army and my grandma said next time I visit, he would tell me all about it. It was emotional for me because they live so far away, and it seems everyone lives so far away. Aside from my parents, I have to get on a plane to visit any other person in my family. This makes me sad. Soldiers away must feel that 10 fold.
