Mother’s older brother, my Uncle Frank G. Daurte was born in March of 1924.
He served in WWII, KOREA, and VIETNAM and is a true Hero to me. I had the honor to walk with this great man. I’ll tell you this Uncle Frank was very stern with us boys.
Uncle Frank’s little brother ‘ Jack ‘ also served in WWII as a Merchant Marine. I wanted to see him one last time in full-dress but back then we were not allowed to go to funerals. For some reason, well at least I think in the eyes of my parents children were not allowed to attend.
