Veterans' Day

 November 11, 2020

Veterans’ Day. There’s little record of service in my line. Dad was disabled by polio, and his dad was a coal miner and deemed necessary to the domestic war effort. Uncle Walt was a Seabee in Germany; Aunt Marian a Marine in I’m not sure where. Uncle Richard was, I think, infantry in Korea. That’s it, so far as I know, on either side. Danny tried to join the Navy but was sent home for some unspecified maladjustment. I hope we did what we could to keep the home fires burning.
