Every man in my family except for my dad has served. My two brothers are currently serving in the marines.

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.

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.

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.

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

Here's to another Veterans Day. You can put stories of relatives and friends who are/were in the miltary.
