When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today. 
RIP Rollie "Buddy" Snell.
RIP Charles "Uncle Charles/Charlie" Felker.
Both served in WWII. One, my uncle was in the 27th division on Saipan, where he had been mortally wounded. When brought to the aid tent, they assumed he was gonna die, and they set him outside the tent with the dead. That night, raiders, or something, killed everyone in and around the tent except him, he says he thinks it was Japanese raiders, but he was in and out throughout the night so much, he was never sure. He died in 2000.
My grandfather, "Buddy" was in the 45th Division. He was in it through and through. He was in the 180th Regiment, G Company. Of which, his company had gotten a presidential Citation at Anzio. I Don't know his story in it, only one I've ever known, was when he was crossing into Germany, a burst of machinegun fire had hit him, and he felt something warm running down his leg, only to find out that it was his Canteen. I do know, a friend of his had gotten the medal of honor along the way, at Anzio, but I am unaware of which company it was.
Short story about one of the guys who had gotten the Medal of Honor in his Company:
