On Veteran's Day, I remember and pay tribute to all those I served with and who came before us. Most particularly my family members.....my Dad and my Grandfather.The Marine Corps globe and anchor were my grandfather's, Charles Wallace Craig who was a Marine Corps L/Cpl who fought at the Battle of Belleau Woods, WWI, 1918.
The Army Combat Infantry Badge rests on the Sgts. stripes of my father, Charles Wallace Craig II, who landed at Anzio, in 1944, fought his way up Italy and then participated in the second "D" Day in Southern France in August of 1944. He later became a cold weather casuality in the Vosges Mountains of France.

Thanks to you and your family for their service!
Thanks for all you do for our Veterans and those who currently wear the uniforms of our armed services.
My Dad served in Vietnam, but due to National Defense Critical jobs, like experienced oil well drillers, most men in my family were exempted from uniformed service in WWII.
