Bio

David Emily was one of eight brothers who answered the call to serve in the United States Army, a remarkable family legacy of patriotism and commitment. David’s own service came at the close of the Korean War, with his tenure spanning from 1954 to 1958. In a poignant twist of fate, as his older brother Frank completed his tour at the war’s outset, David arrived in Korea, briefly uniting the two brothers on foreign soil. Their overlapping service is a testament to the Emily family’s unwavering dedication to country and the enduring bonds of brotherhood that define their story.
