re: Relatives that served in World War 2

Every single one of my great uncles on my paternal grandfather’s side fought. My maternal great grandfather was a colonel in the army during WWII and Korea. My maternal grandfather was the oldest of his siblings and was born in 1936 so he missed it, obviously. Paternal grandfather was also born in 1936 and obviously missed it too.

Of my paternal great uncles that fought, there were 5 of them. Only one of them didn’t make it back.
