    My great great uncle Arnoz. He was my great-grandmother's brother in law. Her parents, sister, little 1 year old niece died in a war. Her son (my grandad) only survive as she went away with him a week before the attack. Her parents and her little niece died running to hide during bombing. Her sister was later found, buried under a stairs, completely white hair from fear and suffocated there, when she war running home to her baby.

    My great-nan never spoke about it and I found out only from my grandmother (wife of my grand dad). We use to go to their grave regularly and even now, every year I'm back in Czech republic, I go there and clean it and put some flowers down.

    Arnoz was serving away at that time and from what I heard, he later married again, but never had any more info about what happen to him.

    I have them all in a picture frame in the living room so my children can see and learn about my family. I'm proud of him for serving and I'm proud of them for what they have been through and everything they passed onto my great-nan (who sadly passed away few years ago, age 96).

    Sorry for the long story........it somehow comes back every time there is a mention of serving in a war. :frown:

    My husband, Jim (Viet Nam), my neice Casey (Desert Storm), my father Wesley (WWII). I lost countless friends from high school in the Viet Nam War. I was so ashamed of the way the soldiers returning from the Viet Nam War were mistreated by many in our country. To all veterans. . .especially to Viet Nam Veterans. . .thank you for your service to our country!

    Don't mean to piss anyone off - but this site has gone international, so it is really RELATIVE who is serving whom and for what!

    Just sayin'.

THANKS also to your families for the sacrifices you make while your soldiers serve us. Here is to the real HEROs of our country....THE AMERICAN SOLDIER! God bless you!

    :heart: Special prayers today for those who have lost soldiers in the name of freedom. God bless and keep you and know how very much we appreciate and honor your soldier. We cannot express our gratitude for these sacrifices made. There is a special place in heaven for these brave men and women. :heart:

I can not even begin to share how proud I am of his bravery and true American spirit. His commitment to his country and freedom is not explainable but visible. Thank you God for bringing my son home safe. :heart:

    Thanks for this thread!
