Well they don't get a hell of a lot more impressive than that set of ribbons right there. If that's Buck's grandpa, that's a stone-cold kicker of asses (retired as a Major General).

Awesome find. I was also gonna say...at least the WWII vets knew what they were fighting and why. As compared to today lol

That's pretty awesome. I'm sure your family is very proud.

Yep, my Dad was born in 61, so I definitely wouldn't be the Chargers fan.
