09 Jul 2007 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.
