Well, this brother served during that war, my other brother was in the Army about the same time and then one of my daughters served for a while. She was in basic and on a forced march or whatever they are called. She stepped in a hole, damaged her knee severely and had to get a medical discharge. I have had ancestors serving ever since the Revolution. I really appreciate their and others’ service.
I hope her knee is healed and back at normal now...
As far as the far past, some of my ancestors scalped people back before the Revolution...*L*
