Re: Veterans Day
Every man in my family except for my dad has served. My two brothers are currently serving in the marines.
Re: Veterans Day
Sure! I served three years in the Army and Hubs retired after 27 years in the Air Force (Colonel 06.) I think it would be a good idea to do as they do in Israel ,to have young people serve for two/three years mandatory. Gives great perspective of the world and helps the country stay strong.

Re: Veterans Day
one of my girl friends from high school. she came back from iraq... developed some unhealthy habits from the army...and some psychological issues... i think she re-enlisted.
Re: Veterans Day
Several men in my family, my dad is still in the Army. It was great seeing him in his dress blues at church this morning.
Re: Veterans Day
Every man on my dads side. My dad fought in Vietnam(yes, he's that old. He's 60!) My grandpa fought in the Korean war and WW2 I believe. There are others but I don't remeber what wars they were in. I know people in the military now and seriously considered joining, but I think I'm too weak.

Re: Veterans Day
My grandpa fought in WW2. I used to want to join the armed forces but my health doesn't allow for that.
