won the Silver Star in Viet Nam and two other cousins serve also. All survived and never speak of it, and the Silver Star winner is the most humble person I ever met. He received his doctorate in Chemistry while working at Dow Chemical. Now retired he spends his time supporting pro life. I had an uncle fly 83 missions in World War II and another serve in the Pacific and carry two of his colleagues back from battle on his shoulders. I never heard of any award he might have won, but he was a hero.
My life is not perfect but I would not give any of it up.
