[Sarc]

Tomorrow we lay my grandfather-in-law to rest in a full military service. Though he wasn't in PH, he did serve the Pacific Theater. Hell of a guy; His parents passed when he was 11, forcing him and his younger brother at 9 to go to work to support their other siblings. As he was the oldest, Ed increased his workload so his younger brother could attend college.
It's interesting to observe how this level of sacrifice enriched so many within the family; his brother's offspring have become all very educated, successful white collar professionals, while his family (my father-in-law) produced several resourceful "grinders" who do the best they can with the tools provided to them, in turn just as successful. Remarkable to see the influence, the legacy cast by these two gentlemen.
I am so humbled by it all and by the various stories I've had the pleasure of hearing on this board.
