<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26529173, member: 104064&quot;]Veterans in my family (in the US) go back to the French and Indian War and probably if there was one before that (my war history is weak). Here is my great-great-grandfather and copies of his discharge papers. His brother and father were imprisoned at Andersonville. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690892[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Uncle Jack served in the Pacific theater. He never talked about it. Supposedly among the first to go into Tokyo following capitulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690893[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Dad served in Germany during the Korean War. His math skills kept him from going to Korea. He was in charge of targeting the M65 atomic cannon. He was proud of the fact that he could hit within a block from 10 miles away. Which, you know, was close enough. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690894[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>One of these guys is dad.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1690895[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Veteran&#039;s Day to all who served.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
