A number of my relatives, males and a female, served in the military.

My father spent his life (32+years) serving as a civilian in the military, as well as the National Guards. He flew in the cockpit of cargo planes as a flight technician on many humanitarian missions of relief around the globe.

My granduncle (on father's side) was a decorated hero for saving his platoon during battle of the bulge. He served under this renown person.

Afterwards, he and his wife were involved in their state in public service the rest of their lives.
They left an inheritance TO the state to help fund programs for children in need of a home.

He was married to his wife for 52 years.

She served during WWII in the US. Navy (Waves) in Washington D.C..

My maternal grandfather was a WWI veteran stationed in France.

One of my brothers served in the army and was stationed in Korea. He organized the children living in orphanages there, teaching them soccer and setting up leagues.
