Not me, I didn't have the guts to serve (I admit freely the weakness was my own, so much for Norwell's idea of "too good to serve", not me, too chicken, that was me), but both my parents and one of my uncles. And my grandfather was in the Army in WWII. And my father-in-law was career Air Force. Not related to anybody that was in the Navy, but I have lots of friends that were (why do so many Navy men retire to the desert? did you guys get sick of water or something?).

That's right the anniversary is coming soon, usually that signals some cool stuff on History Channel.
