Carl was one of my Brothers . . . but did you know, they gave him a Medal?
When I mentioned the significance of the day to my Wife's Grandmother, the conversation quickly went to telling stories of all the fun she had growing up with each of her eleven brothers and sisters - to include all the grief they inflicted upon their [Native American] Mother, Ruby Eagle.
