It appears that I will be the last serving Soldier in this string however, as neither of my boys appear to be heading for the military.....which is ok by me.
And Happy Veteran's Day to all!

My grandfather fought Poncho Villa in the old horse cavalry, and then also served in WWI and WWII. My dad served in WWII as a navy corpsman attached to the Marines on several landings. After rotating back to the states and the Oakland Navy Hospital, he met my mother who was stationed there as a WAVE. I served three years in the Army (USASA) back in my day.
Hail to all Vets everywhere!!
