Any family members serve in past wars?

Something that should never be forgotten is the service that your family members have done. Whether it was during WW2 fighting against the Axis Powers, or if it was fighting with the CSA in the Civil War..

My Great x4 Grandfather Wilson Dorset Walker served in the 59th Georgia Infantry Regiment Company B in the Confederacy during the Civil War.

My grandfather Jack Haynes served in the Navy during World War 2, he served in the Pacific.

My great grandfather fought in WWI and by grandfather fought in Korea. I probably had a few past relatives that fought the civil war on the north's side and the revolutionary war since I have ancestors that arrived in Mass on the mayflower.

Nope, they all ate spaghetti. I met most of my great grand-parents, so I know this for a fact.

grandfather that i never met

My Grandpa was in the Vietnam War. He served as an Officer (the side that was with the Americans). He was caught and got stuck in jail for 7 years if I recall correctly.

My Grandads brother served on the HMS Hood and of course he was one of the people who died on it.

My Grandad was also going to work on a ship but by the time he was signed onto the War had ended,so he had a lucky escape really.

Those what I can really remember off the top of my head right now.

My grandfathers fought in WWII, both japanese. After the war, they came to despise their own government and left Japan. Not because Japan lost, but they realized how awful it was losing your friends and killing someone who you don't even know (they were just normal people who were forced to serve).

My Dad did two years in Nam......

My Grandad fought in the Navy in World War II for Italy, and even had a few close escapes I'm told.

Both grandfathers were vets, only one fought in a war. My aunt and uncle (married) are both vets, he fought in a war. My cousin fought in a war.

my moms brothers all served during korea

My great grandpa served during WW2 and my cousins sister was a pilot in the late 90's. I'm thinking of serving myself, but certain things are keeping me from doing so.

An all too often common occurrence.

My great uncle fought in Korea, his brother (maternal grandfather) fought in Vietnam, my uncle did some time in Kosovo in the Navy. There's more military service in my family but these are the people I've actually talked to about it in person. All but my uncle, who's still young, have passed on. My friend who I'm seeing Iron Man 3 with tomorrow served in the Army, but I'm pretty sure he never saw combat. Then again, he said he became a pacifist after serving his time so he surely saw some disturbing things. :/ He's one of the most laid-back people I know.

No one has any information about family members that served in the Civil War?

I served in Afghanistan, my stepdad served in the Falklands and the Gulf War my great uncle served in the WWII and died in a Japanese POW camp in Thailand

My Great Great Great *sigh* Great Grandfather was part of the Haitian Revolution in the 1790's

None of my family members served in any military.

Many of my relatives did. I have some uncles who fought in World War II.

My great-grandmother's brother was killed in WWII. My grandfather joined the military but was never deployed. I don't know about the rest of my family.

My father joined the military but he never thought in any war. He retired and works as teacher instead.

My grandfather was a tailgunner in WWII, and my other grandfather was too busy outrunning Nazis. He was a total badass. (Both of them were)

My Great Uncles Johnny and Mike both served in World War I.

My Uncles Al, Jim, Willie and Jack all served in World War II.

My Father and my Uncles Charlie and Gervais served in the Korean War.

My Uncle Jake served in the Viet Nam War.

My Brother-in-law Michael has served in the most recent Iraq War and is serving in the current Afghanistan War.

Ten war veterans total.

Family of heroes

@biteme_fanboy: Thanks, friend.

The ironic thing is; the ones I knew would all say they weren't heroes.

Even though he won two Bronze Stars, my Dad always said he was happy to come home alive and in one piece.

My grandfather served in World War II in the Air Force.
