Default WWII Dad and his brothers

My father joined the Navy and saw action aboard the USS New Mexico in Alaska, Eniwetok, Kwajakein, Guam, Okinawa, and Toyko for the surrender. His next brother joined the Army, and spend the whole war in Hawaii with special services. He gave out baseball equipment to R&R units. The second olderst brother was in the Merchant Marine for awhile, and he worked in a defense related plant. The oldest brother joined the Army as a lieutant in anti-tank unit. He went to Italy, not a whole lot tanks there, was assigned to different units. The only officer that went into at an LT and came out as an LT.

A major thank you to all our dads.
