My Grandfather served in the 11th Airborne Division in Korea, he joined to find his brother who was (and still is a POW). My father also served 25 (I believe) in the Service and retired last year with 40 years of civil service (or 39... I should know this :P).

SPC(P) (Join to see), my now deceased father, Jack Curlee (see photo), served during WWII in the U.S. Navy from 1JUL43 to 26JUN46. When he was released from active duty he was a Lieutenant (junior grade). My father told me all about his time in the service to include tracing his route to the South Pacific and back. He was 93 years old when he passed away on 10SEP15.
Both of my grandfathers served in WWI, although neither went overseas.
You didn't ask, but all three of my uncles, served overseas in the Army during WWII.
Also, at least six of my eight great, great grandfathers served in the CSA during the War Between the States.

SPC(P) (Join to see), here are photos of my grandfathers, both of whom served in the Army during WWI. Corporal George Curlee appears to the far left in the group photo and Private Preuit Holland is in the other photo. Both photos were taken in 1918.

SPC(P) (Join to see) My dad served 42 years on active duty. Here is a picture of him in the early 50's, when he was a Colonel, almost two decades before he retired.
