Subject: Do you have a serviceman in your family tree?? From: Karl T. and Wendy Mayfield Date: February 27, 2000 Greetings fellow researchers: Do you have a serviceman in your family tree? I have spent countless hours pouring over books, research materials, and military documents. I've read the history of the AirForce. I have purchased books describing uniforms, and unit information. All of this just to describe to my descendants what it was like during different wars. But what is most forgotten is the men that served in these wars. Living or dead, they paid you with their time, their lives, their families happiness. They stood up and defended a belief that we should be a nation of our own. The fought against eachother in a war so bloody, that it left a nation divided even to this day. They cried out against the attrocities commited against Cuban's and then went to defend them. They went over the seas to protect the United States in not one but Two World Wars. Since then they have defended not only our own nation, but that of others. Many of these men are still alive today. They may be in the home next to yours, or your Grandfather. They may sit down with the children in your villiage and talk to them about the old days. They are your friends, companions, or an acquaintance, who enlisted and served in times of peace and in times of war. They left friends and family behind and dedicated themselves to the ideal of peace. At a great personal cost, why not take a few moments to thank them for it?
