By Win Gruening
| The Alaska Story
By WIN GRUENING Nov. 8, 2026 – Like many in my generation, I grew up believing that military service was both an honor and a privilege. Military service was a family tradition. My great-grandfather was a Union soldier in the Civil War, my grandfather an artillery officer in World War I, and my father a B-24 Liberator pilot in World War II. My twin brother and I both served during the Vietnam War—he as a combat paratrooper, I as a C-141 cargo transport pilot.

It has failed to deliver on those assurances.
