All of my uncles on both sides of the Family, as well as my dad, served(about 7 men)1 Korea, 5 post Korea, 1 purple heart Viet-Nam. My generation, including cousins, only 3, one bad conduct discharge, one retired USAF CMSgt Avionics troop, me 8 years as a rigger & corrections officer, out of 30 something cousins. We have lost the tradition. I have 4 sons, all eagle scouts, all have good jobs, One Policeman, One Psych-Tech Supervisor, One Albertson's Manager, One Construction, but they all grew up hearing anti military propaganda & they refused to go in....I'm not sure how I fell about it...We lost a tradition, but it's their lives.
