I have my Dad's Army uniforms from when he was on the East-West German border during the Korean War. My wife suggested we get the best one cleaned and framed and the folded flag that was over my uncle's coffin when he passed on over 25 years ago. My uncle was at the Battle of the Bulge. It is hard for me, (who came of age just after they stopped the draft near the end of the Viet Nam era) to imagine two such mild mannered men being involved in something like that. I am forever grateful to all veterans and current service people.
