3 vets and 1 veternarian in my family. 1 marine (Served in vietnam & currently inand out of Afghanistan), 1 army (served in Korean war), 1 Navy ( didn't do shit)

Edit: I forgot about my ancestors that were in the civil war, too many to name and any way I think they're all dead now

BigRedChief 11-10-2010 08:50 PM
One of my great Grandfathers fought in WWI. Both of my Grandfathers served and fought in WWII. My Dad was in the Air Force. My brother was in the Army. I never served due to a genetic hearing loss.

There is no higher calling than putting yourself in harms way to help keep your fellow countrymen safe.

One of the coolest sets of things I have is:

My Grandfather's WWI dress jacket (1918-1919)
My Father's Korean War dress jacket and (1950-52)
My own dress jacket (1984-1999)

I have them hanging in my closet next to each other with their insigna and brass on them. Need to do something to have them professionally preserved one of these days.
