After I posted my original comment on Uncle Sal, I added a picture of him and I also commented on how he and Uncle Pete and Uncle Jim were "War Heroes. I don't think this website picked up my additional comment.
As much as Uncle Sal was so close to me, I wanted to acknowledge the true heroism of my other WWII hero uncles. Besides Uncle Sal, who trained "Tankers", I want to "brag" about my Uncle Pete and my Uncle Jim, both of whom saw "action" in WWII.
Uncle Sal and Uncle Pete would often spend Sunday mornings at my mom and dad's home. I was in awe as a young kid to be in front of men like Uncle Sal and Pete. Uncle Pete won the "Silver Star" for heroism for using his "brains" to defeat the enemy as a "Top" tank commander.
My uncle Jim was a nose gunner on a B24. My dad is also one of my personal heros in WWII. I'm so proud to have a family with members like Uncle Sal, Uncle Pete, and Uncle Jim, who helped save us from tyranny. God Bless my family.
