My great-grandfather Ralph Garver served in World War I.
My grandfather Theo Eversol served 44 months in WWII. Some of his remarks are recorded in a first and second article. My paternal grandfather Otto Armstrong served in the same war, also in the Pacific Rim.
Earlier this year I interviewed my father Linn about his experiences inVietnam. He wrote more about his tour in a 2007 article.
My step-father Marshall Davis also served in Vietnam.
A number of my more-distant family members have also served at various times, as have numerous friends.
Last year, I interviewed Seymour Glass of the 445th Bomb Group. The resulting videos are extraordinary.
Thank you all.
