I brag about my Silver Star winning cousin from Viet Nam and my uncles, one of whom flew 83 missions

win World War II as a 19 year old, but they never ever bring it up or speak of their service. The Viet Nam guy had an appointment with his doctor for Agent Orange issues but was at my mother's funeral 5 hours away from him the day before. We lost my uncle maybe three years ago if memory serves me right, at age 97. Of course thank you for your service, times were very difficult back then and I hated the crap you guys took.
