It is wonderful that they are being remembered, and honored, as is their due.
Given the horrendous carnage of that war, it is amazing that is amazing about your maternal grandfather and his brothers. I am sorry about your paternal grandfather, and all the other lives cut short.
My maternal grandfather and at least one of his brothers served from the US. My grandfather was older, so he ended up being kept back to train the younger men. My great-uncle, however, served in France.
