Today is Veteran's Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada. With deep gratitude and a big thank you to all Veteran's for your service to your countries. Might be fun if you respond to this post to share if you are a veteran or have family members who are and if they saw war time action.

My father: U.S. Air Force - active duty in World War II, Korea and almost Vietnam
Father-in-law: U.S. Army - Korea
Brother-in-law: U.S. Air Force
cousin Ken: U.S. Army - Vietnam

My Great Grandfather was a highly decorated WWI vet, fought in France.

Grandpa was 4F (legs) and Dad...I think because of me and my brothers didn't serve.

I was in the Navy for one hitch between VN and the 1990-91 Gulf War, so didn't see any action.

Niece just married a career Army man last year. Brother served in Army Rangers as helicopter maintenance, I guess his unit was back-up or support to the Blackhawk Down unit in Mogadishu at that time.

I work with and for vets every working day, and I'm proud to serve those who have served this nation.

My thanks to all the veterans who have served as well. Today a lot of these military men come home with ptsd and missing limbs it's horrible. My Dad is a retired major for the United States Army. He is a two time Vietnam veteran and he chooses not to talk about it and I understand. I'm very proud of him. I'm a veteran too but not anything to brag about. An interesting thing my daughter was born in Germany just like me. Believe it or not I served in two branches. The first hitch was the United States Air Force and then the United States Army. I just missed the cutoff for Desert Storm. I choose not to have a veteran's tag on my car because I'm no war veteran.

Thanks guys!

My grandfather was a WW1 vet
My dad served aboard the battleship USS Colorado during WW2 along with his 2 brothers, Donny US Army Air Corp and Carl, US Army.
My mom was a civilian employee at the Buffalo Curtiss-Wright plant assembling P-40 aircraft.
Her 2 brothers served in the USAAC during and after WW2.
I spent 4 years in the Air Force, the last year at Bien Hoa AB RVN.
My girlfriend's sister and brother-in-law are both retired US Army serving much of their careers in Europe.
My brother-in-law from a previous marriage was an instructor at West Point and presently is an Lt. Colonel stationed in Florida.
My oldest daughter was born at West Point in 1969 while I was stationed close by at Stewart AFB in Newburgh NY.
