Several of the blogs I read regularly have done some form of this, so in light of today being Veteran's Day, I thought I'd mention all the people in my family who have served their country in the US Armed Forces.

• Great-grandpa Emmett (d. 1995): Served in WWII (as a chaplain, I believe). May have been just old enough to be involved in the very end of WWI. Army
• Great-uncle David (Emmett's oldest and Ralph's brother. d. early 1990's): Served in WWII. Army
• Grandpa Ralph: Served at the end of WWII. Would have been part of the forces invading Japan, had they not surrendered while his battalion was en route. Redirected to the Philippines. Army
• Great-uncle Charley (Ralph's brother-in-law. d. 2 weeks ago): Served in WWII and possibly in Korea. Navy
• Uncle Rick (Charley's son): Served in Gulf War I. Navy
• Brother Nick: Served in Fallujah during the Global War on Terror, and Kosovo before that. Army

That should cover my side. On to my wife's side.

• Grandpa Bud (d. 1999): Served in WWII. Navy
• Uncle Byron: Served in Vietnam and Gulf War I. Marines (belated happy birthday Devil Dogs!)
• Uncle Gary: Served in Vietnam. Army (most likely)
• Cousin Jonathan (Byron's son): Currently serving. Navy

Thanks to all who have served.
