This is a result of Veteran's Day thoughts. Meant to be something of a tribute to the generation of Soldiers/military that came before me. A family story told in two parts, the father and the son and contrasting the experiences they each would go on to have. No sex. Part 2 will be coming within the next few days. Remember: the sex code is NO SEX. If this bothers you, feel free to skip this story.
