Sarah from Ashburn, Virgina called in to Washington Journal today to tell viewers about her and her 17 siblings - six of whom served in the military during World War II - and her other family members that committed to lives of service in the military. "We are a military family, and it continues that way with nephews and great-nephews serving, and we're very proud of them. I wanted to know more about World War II, but some of the brothers just could not talk about it. And seeing some of the stories, I could understand why they did not want to talk about it."
