Maj. Marc Young of Gainesville is seen at an Army base in Kuwait while en route to serve in Iraq. He retired as a lieutenant colonel after 20 years service.
The timing of their reunion in Gainesville — just before Veterans Day — couldn’t be more appropriate. Combined, the military lives of Robert Young and his son, Marc, stretch back nearly 60 years and span the globe, including tours in some of the world’s worst trouble spots. Their love for country and each other is deep and abiding, as quite evident.
