My brother died with John Martin Burke. I've learned about life and the sacrifice made by these two Marines. My family, all my brothers, and my father have served this country - Dad in WW2 and Korea; the oldest Louis during the Cuban missile crisis; John and Pete in Vietnam; Robert in Army Intel during the Czech invasion; and me (Larry) in Desert Storm. Dad and John are in Arlington National Cemetery, Pete and Robert in VA hospitals. War is just brother against brother.
