David Emily

David Emily was one of eight brothers, all of who served in the United States Army. David’s service was at the end of the Korean War. His older brother Frank Emily served at the beginning of the Korean War, and as Frank left Korea, David arrived, putting both brothers in the same location at the same time. What are the odds? David served from 1954 to 1958.

I imagine two brothers were never so glad to cross paths as they were. I can also imagine the hardship their mother must have gone through. We are thankful for their service.

Thank you for sharing this story about the Emily brothers passing each other in Korea. Do you know if they were able to hang out for a bit on leave/R&R before David had to report for duty in Korea?
