have relatives in the Military? do we count those that were in the military, as well? currently, the only relative i have overseas is my cousin jamie. my cousin kevin is retiring from the marines... many other members of my family have served. i'm really glad my brother isn't in anymore. yeah why not! Both of my brothers and I served in the military. My older brother was in the international (back then) under NATO command, while I was in the National Guard, my younger brother in the Reserves and served in Iraq 2 years. Every single male member was in the military in my family. My grandfather was executed in a prison in 1956, my other fought in WWII. My great grandad fought in WW1.

I will be going to basic next month for the National Guard...My Brother just got back from Iraq Last Year. Good on ya, Sherry ... where y' goin' ... ? I did my Basic at Ft Polk in Leesville, LA. It's great if y' like a lot of pine trees and red clay ... Thanks to you and your brother for your service < hand salute > ... Thanks to all our veterans who've served - no matter when. I will be going to Grayling i believe, here in Michigan...I meet with my recruiter on wed. It's a pretty big decision considering i have children at home. But it's mostly because i can't afford college anymore and our economy sux!! But i also love my country!! I am very proud to be an American!!

My great grandad fought in WW1. my brother was a crew chief in the army, six years in germany and thirteen months in bosnia. this was his best friend and his crew: http://www.sapphire-designs.com/denise/tribute.html he would call me at three in the morning with tales i never needed to hear at that age... my father was in the marine corps for twenty-two years, serving three tours in vietnam. my uncles were navy and army... my cousin has spent well over twenty years in the marine corps. my daughter is considering joining...and i'm not steering her in either direction, but i hope she doesn't. she has a young son who needs her here. i thank you for your service.
