A powerful legacy of military service comes full circle as Rob Sterling reflects on his family’s history and the lasting connection to the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. Army Veteran Rob Sterling recently visited the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC), bringing with him an incredible family legacy that warmed the hearts of VA staff.
Sterling’s father, Edmond, and his twin brother, Edward, both served as radiomen in the Navy during World War II. The brothers deployed to Hawaii and the Philippines, and served in the war stationed in Midway, where that famous battle took place. After the war, the brothers returned to Texas, where they raised their families after becoming master mechanics. Both also received their health care at MEDVAMC.
