one family, one war
Five of the brothers of the same family served. Two Army, one Navy, one Air Force and one Marine. Five years in Vietnam. As soon and one would come home another would go. One was there pretty much from 1965 to 1971. And at one time 2 of us were there at the same time and one had to go home. I asked my parents years later how they handled it and they just said; "We prayed a lot."
