This Memorial Day had me thinking about someone who was never in the military, but definitely saw war.
I used to work for a company that did home restoration work...fire damage, flood damage, mold remediation, basically anything bad that could happen to your house. After Hurricane Sandy, pretty much the whole company packed up and went down to Long Island to work the damage. We went down at the behest of a real estate company that had some houses down there, but quickly became swamped with requests and the massive scale of the devastation. They gave us a beachhouse to stay in, but there was no water, no working toilets, no power.
