Veterans Day is this coming Wednesday. There are several people from our family who served in the military. My father served in the National Guard and many times during the year he would go off to do basic training. He had two heavy wood foot lockers that he would take with him. I am not even sure who has those today. At this time I am looking for more information on three of the brothers of his third great grandfather who served in the Revolutionary War. Two other brothers died in the war. This is a more complete history than what was compiled before. Each of the six brothers, and the one who was too young to serve, deserve to be honored for their service. I am grateful to be able to trace our ancestors and know what living in this country meant to them.
