How Many Here Have?

divebomb
Just curious to know how many on this forum have served in the US Armed Forces, or have or have had family that has served or is currently serving?
Allot I'm guessing.
I myself have never had that honor.
My dad was a two tour Marine in Vietnam, and my brother is a Marine serving currently in Iraq.
Just curious, but I bet numbers show, most all here talking on this post have a hard earned stake in this country.

    Came close to enlisting in the Marines......it seems like life had different plans for me and I became a Firefighter instead.

    Nixon ended the draft the year I became eligible.
    I have the utmost respect for those who served, especially for the one's who didn't come back.

    I was raised by a strict NAVY officer who served two tours in Vietnam. I'm proud to have him as my Father. He raised us kids right!

    My father did, (they are Amish before dad) I did, my wife retired after 23 years at E-8 from the AF and when my daughters reach the age, it will certainly be an option we will not discourage.

    Thank you all. I was an idiot and didn't serve, and at 44 would go to boot camp tomorrow if they's have me

    My 82 YO father says Europe on DDay was EXACTLY like the intro scene in Saving Private Ryan

    Haven't served myself. My grandpa was served during Korea in the Navy. My dad served in the Army during the Vietnam era. He never fought overseas; enlisted and stayed stateside. Several of my uncles have served in the Air Force between Vietnam and Desert Storm.

    THANK YOU to all on here who have served. I'm enjoying the freedoms you all have fought for.
