Him, at least two of his brothers, at least one brother-in-law that I know of, and his nephew (whom he grew up with like a brother), all fought in WWII.

My aunt is about 76 or approaching 77 now. Really puts things in perspective for me; and to think if he were alive to see all the hatred in the world today...
