Tin can sailor, retired from the USN 13 years ago.

No military service myself, but a fair number of relatives have served. My cousin is a Captain and pilot in the USAF, my uncles (father's brothers) both served in Vietnam, one was an Air Force Intelligence Officer and the other was a Navy Medic attached to the USMC unit at Con Thien. My grandfather on my mother's side was in the US Army in the late 50s and early 60s. My great-uncle was also in the US Navy during WWII, I got his medals and dog tags after he passed away a number of years ago. I also know of relatives who fought on the Union side of the American Civil War.
