[Shad]

My maternal grandfather was involved in bombing target selection during the Korean War and tried very hard to bomb the bejesus out of my wife's paternal grandfather who was driving supply trucks for the PLA in North Korea.

Needless to say he failed, and 55 years later they got to sit side by side at our wedding in Shenyang and laugh over how trivial and stupid mankind can be.

My grandfather also managed to have 7 children, each born in a different state/country. A stirring testament to the respective challenges of military family life and Irish Catholic morals...!
