Well...here's the closest I can come...I'm not in the military but I have numerous stories from my family who served...

Great-Grandfather: Lt. United States Navy. (Flew F6Fs during WWII...but he died before I could ask him anything.)

Grandfather: Lt. Col. United States Marine Corps. VMF-323 (WWII and Korea. Flew Corsairs. Retired in 67 I believe)

Grandfather: Col. United States Air Force. 457th FG (Flew F-4 Phantoms in Viet Nam and was a Flight Surgon. I think he commanded as well...not sure.)

Step-Grandmother: TSgt. United States Air Force. (I can't remember what she did or where she served)

Uncle: Capt. United States Marine Corps. (I also cannot remember his unit, but he flew Hueys in Viet Nam and was on the verge of promotion when he was killed.)

Uncle: SSgt United States Air Force. (Don't remember his unit...but he served in Desert Storm working on F-16s)

Father: TSgt United States Air Force and Air Force Reserves. (Served in Viet Nam and Desert Storm. EMT during the '90 and reservist when called to Kuwait. Got out of the Reserves before being called back as his didn't want to leave two young boys and a wife behind again.)

I know it doesn't count...but it's something...

its easy to have a big mouth sitting home

I found your post a bit insulting.


I am a cop. Been shot at three times. Had my gun on one man when I saw the exit wounds and decided I need not fire. And once pulled the trigger and saw a man die by my own hand three feet in front of me.


Have I served in your eyes?
