Thanks you again for all you do. one of my regrets in life is that I did not serve. I came of age at the end of the Vietnam era. Many of my family members haved served in the past, and a nephew died in a training drill while serving in the Marines. thanks again,

I'll toss my hat in the ring for this.

grandfather on my dad's side: he was a retired E9 in the army. Enlisted sometime at or just before WWII. Never really spoke about his time and when asked, talked about the great skills military teaches our youth.

grandfather in my mom's : he was a 90-day wonder boy during WWII. This was when drafted, they found out he had a degree and 90 days later was commissioned in the US Navy (Tom Hanks character eludes to also being this in Saving Private Ryan). I know he served in the South Pacific and i have the a silver box which his LtJg bars were presented along with the ribbons (on a bar) which he earned. As a sailor, I cherish these items.

He also repeated that if I ever wanted to know what real war was like, I was to ask my other grandpa.

M dad was set to be drafted into Vietnam. Because my mom was pregnant with me, and my dad was the eldest male in the family, his draft notice was nullified.

Me; I spent 23 years enlisted in the Navy as an Aircraft Electrician. Did seven cruises (almost 11 years sea time) and visited almost 30 different countries. I was in VF-2 for Desert Storm and aboard the USS Tarawa when the Cole was attacked/ bombed (ie, we were there). Three of my four children were born when I was away and the one I was home for (my second daughter), was born on the same day as I.

None of my three daughters joined the military though two of them married into the military. The youngest, my son, joined the Army as a battle field medic and is now finishing his degree. If all goes as planned, and my wonderful daughter-in-law keeps him in line, the kid will be commissioned in the Navy 2021.
