I can’t get over how relevant (though heartbreakingly) this seems to the situation we are in right now:

My father and both of my grandfathers served in WWI and WWII. They were lucky to survive, but their service had an impact on their lives afterwards and on the lives of all who loved them. People who waited for them to come home, fearing that they might not. People who lived in a world that was different because of their sacrifice from how it might have been if they had not made that sacrifice. They felt an obligation to put their lives at risk in the service of others. Their country, yes, but a vision of their country that was worth a great and personal sacrifice.
