A fair number of our relations have served in the military over the years. As we remember on Veteran’s Day, I thought we might take a quick look at some of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ve covered a few of them in various posts over the last year, such as this post<\/a> about Walter Wellman. Noel Manley’s service was covered in this post<\/a>. Michelle’s uncle Paul James<\/a> was also a service member. Not all the family member’s served in the U.S. military. Gerhard Wellman<\/a> served in his native country before coming to the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walt’s great-grandfather, John Swisher Hole, served in the Civil War as a private with the 40th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He fought at Lookout Mountain and Chickamauga. We have much more of that story to tell after we took a trip to the area earlier this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crescentia Wellman served in the Air Force as a nurse. She joined in 1953, during the Korean War. Crescentia served in several locations both in United States and around the world. She retired in 1981 as a Colonel. Crescentia is Walt’s first cousin once removed. We will have more of her story to tell later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Russell Durfee is Michelle’s great-uncle. He served in the Marines in WWII. He was mortally wounded on Saipan on June 17, 1944. Again, there is much more to his story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We appreciate all the people who have served their countries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
