What relatives are in the military or have served in the military? Did or are they fighting in a war?

Question

I salute all the fellow Veterans. You have my thanks.
I also salute the military wives and children for their sacrifice.
In my family, my "son" Randy and I both served. I was Army, He served in the Marines.

Answer 1

Step-dad was in Korea. A cousin is in Marines, I think he's about ready to retire and he's only 42.
Another cousin is in the Army right now and i am going to try to talk my 19 year old nephew into going into the service. (He's a computer maniac and they could use those kinds of brains!)
My brother was in Coast Guard for about 4 years.

Likewise, I am very thankful for the Veterans, past and present, who served out country proudly. The service can totally change your life and I highly recommend to the youth, if you're not sure what you want to do with your life, consider joining. Not EVERYONE goes off to fight, in case you're worried about that. You figure that out BEFORE you enlist.

RED FRIDAY - as a show of support, we have been asking everyone to wear RED on Fridays. I LOVE seeing people wearing RED on Fridays. If you can, please do. And please pass it on to all you know.
