Happy Veteran's Day to my ancestors about whom I've already written and one who will soon be profiled. They served their country well in several wars.

• Thomas Brown, my second great-grandfather, from Highland County, Ohio, served in the Civil War.
• Adam Clark, my second great-uncle, from Adams County, Ohio, served in the Civil War.
• Herman August Hibsch, my second great uncle, from Los Angeles County, California, served in the Spanish American War.
• Robert Martin Hibsch, my father, from Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, served in WWII.
• Alba William Hibsch, my grandfather, from Los Angeles County, California, served in WWI.

I offer a special tip of the hat to my uncle and brothers who are also honored veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Iraqi Wars.

Thankfully, they all returned home.
