My grandfather in WWII I believe, the other in Korean. One uncle around Vietnam time. The other uncle got full scholarship to Harvard from Harvard, was translator in Germany, and made security plans for 2 presidents and knew them in person. He later worked in Pentagon during 911 attacks. Apparently he made silly money. Honestly couldn't tell you what that is. lol

My birth mother and father were in the Army in the 80's. My adoptive mother and birth mother met while at Basic Training together. I was born on Ft. Lewis. The Army is pretty much in my blood.

My Dad was a Green Beret, my Step Dad was an AP in the Air Force, 1 of my brothers is a Marine & another brother is a Navy Corpsman. The Marine Corps messed up & stationed me & my brother together in the exact same Comm shop in Okinawa, Japan. The Gunny who was the Com Chief knew better then to deploy us together, so he took turns sending us places. We got to be together for at least 8 months before he rotated back to the States.

My father served in the Army as a tank driver and got a purple heart and a chest full of medals and ribbons.

My cousin served in the Air Force as a plane mech and decided he wasnt being all he could be and joined the Army as a grunt. He did a tour in Kuwait and two in Somalia. He also got the purple heart.
