David Hamburger

David Hamburger is the brother of Congresswoman and First Lady Flora Hamburger. He served in the United States Army in the Great War in Chester Martin's squad on the Roanoke Front. Hamburger was severely wounded; his leg had to be amputated above the knee.

Following the war, Hamburger, who came from a radical Socialist family, became a conservative Democrat as a result of his hatred of the Confederate States for what they did to him. He was wary of Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party's rise in that country long before the Second Great War and knew some satisfaction when his once-dovish sister belatedly realized he was right to distrust them.
