I’m in on behalf of my son. If I win, I’d prefer to have it transferred to him. He’s in the US Army artillery, 10th Mountain Division, and I am one PROUD DAD.
(And both of my grandfathers served- one in WW2, one in Korea)

Please enter me. Attached is one family member who served during WW2. He was a brevet major for most of the war and offered a permanent promotion if he’d transfer to the regular army.
Thank you for the chance.

May I put my name in the hat? Father served in the navy, he was at Bikini Atoll for at least one of the nuclear tests. Grandfather was in the army, he didn’t cross the border but was part of Pershing’s Punitive Expedition. I have his visor hat. I had a cousin who survived the Bataan Death March.

I'm in. **ARMY** 82d Airborne ['77-'80] and 11th SFG ['80-'92].
This isn't legal in NJ, but I qualify under the LE exemption. If I score it, I'll likely keep it in NC, and have it shipped there. As soon as I put in my papers on job #2, I expect to spend most of my time south of the Mason/Dixon line.

I didn't serve but my dad was a WWII Navy Frogman UDT. He passed away on May 21, 2025 just shy of 99 years old.
Thank you for the chance, and for honoring all those who served on this Memorial Day weekend.
