Celebrate Memorial Day by honoring those who have made sacrifices for you

Both of my grandparents served in World War II as part of the Greatest Generation.

My father's father, Richard Lea, was a chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy and served in the Pacific theater, specifically, Guam.

My mother's father, George Swain, joined the Army and served in the 301st Signal Company that was stationed in Italy.

But I'm not the only person with veterans in my family. (In fact, I suspect everyone does.)
