5 uncles and 4 aunts in WW2. 2 Uncles died at the base of the cliffs 
at Les Falaises, one uncle survived having three ships sunk under him 
on three voyages on the Murmansk run. 2 Uncles went all the way from 
El Alamein to Berlin.

13 of my European relatives came back with the tattooed number on 
their arms, 1 cousin survived Mengele but was paralyzed forl life. 
All the rest of my relatives went to the ovens,

If it wasn't for the thousands that gave their lives that year I too 
would probably have gone to the ovens

In England today is called "Rememberance Day"

I remember and am very grateful to them all..
