  My great grandfather fought in WW1. He came down with Spanish Flu and the doctors thought he was going to die. They moved him next to a mass grave awaiting burial but right before they picked him up, a medic saw he was still breathing and they took him back to the aid station. He eventually recovered and was able to return home in April of 1919. I have some of his old postcards that he sent home, his helmet and his uniform. Very touching

  My aunt was 16 ears old in 1918. &nbsp; She told me that she could still remember the tears running down her fathers cheeks, as he made her baby sister Emily&apos;s casket on the back porch of the house.<br><br>My grandfather was the only carpenter in a small AZ mining town, and he had to make it himself.

  This brings back so many memories from my grandmother telling me stories of her mother and baby sister dying when my grandmother was 7yr old in 1919. She cried about it almost daily even in her 90&apos;s. She lost so much and was sent to a mean aunt and had a horrible life with her. &nbsp;This was in Alpena Michigan.

  My great grandfather came to America in 1910, and passed from the flu in 18. His steamer trunk sits in our living room, and looking at it over the last 2 years has taken on a whole new meaning.
