RE: Have you or any members of your family been in the military?
My great-grandfather served in the Navy during WWII, he was stationed in the Bahamas (how do I get a gig like that? lol). Two cousins served in Desert Storm, one is still in, and currently in Iraq. We have books that show the various members serving in wars/conflicts dating back to pre-Revolution, and during the Civil War my family fought for the Union, they we're in West Virginia--in which half the state went for the Confederates the other went for the Union. All of my siblings H.S age, including me, did JROTC, which is play military (lots of drill and history), and so my brother is thinking about going Army now, but he's still got a few years, and I pray by the time he get of age we'll be out of conflict.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Lois don't be alarmed-but I think I'm Jesus

One of the last living American World War I veterans has died. There are only 2 more remaining.
