I myself am not a veteran - only of the railroad.

However, I have five brothers currently working or retired from Wabash, NW and NS service who are veterans ­­- one a Pearl Harbor survivor, one who fought in the Korean conflict and one a Vietnam veteran. Here’s a photo from a presentation by Friends of Michigan History on the 60 th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
