I don't know xD never asked

 

My grandad was in the....navy I think in WWII.

 

My dad was not in a war, but he did serve in the navy. My granddad also served in the Air Force, but he was not in the war either.

 

Okay so apparently my grandad actually took part in the WWII

 

My Parents escaped Vietnam during the Vietnam war. My Uncle died while fighting in that war...

 

My dad was in the air force and knew how to use a gun
Both of my granddads were in the army
I think my great grandads were both also in the viet war
And before them, all my family knew how to use guns
And they all survived I guess
So yay veterensss

 

My Grandpa was in the vietnam war, he never served on the battlefialed, but instead he was stationed in europe as a truck driver, he would haul supplies, soldiers, prisoners etc.

My great grandpa on the other hand served in WW2, and was captured by german forces during the battle of the bulge, and was put in a concentration camp. he survived and won several medals. but passed away in the 1980s. :(

 

I believe one of my great-uncles was drafted into the Vietnam War, and my dad is in the navy currently, and I believe this is his 20th year :) If not, then 19.

 

My grandpa, when he was a kid, lived in China while the Japanese attacked. His parents abandoned him because they didn't have enough money to feed him.

 

My family has had a long feud with another family. They never stopped bickering with the other, always wanting revenge and always wanting to have the last word. But I was sitting in the grass one day when I saw a girl walk by. She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. I followed her, day by day, just to see what she liked. Night by night, just to see how she liked.

It was the 10th day of following when I saw her hug another man. a particuarly old man, but something ran in the back of my head. I recognized that man. Then it hit me like a stone, it was our rival. She was the daughter of our rival. But that didn't stop me. I continued to follow her, day and night. Every hour of my ever so fragile life. She finally noticed me, and started talking. After hours and hours of talking, I finally decided that I loved her. But what I didn't know is she loved me back.

It had been two years since I first saw her, and I thought I should tell her about my feelings. I crunched my fists and speed-walked straight up to her. Then, i leaned in and kissed her on the lips. She kissed back. She actually kissed back. I was the one to finally break away, and I murmered under my breath: "I love you" she repeated the line back at me. " But our families.." I said. She nodded her head. "I talked to my dad. He is going to end the war". And with that, she kissed me once more, and uttered:

"It's finally over, Romeo."

 

My great grandfather fought in World War 1 and World War 2. A rare one huh? He served in the navy. I unfortunately never got to meet him, he died in the 50s I think :c

 

My dad served in the navy during the early Iraq war :cc

 

He has to be in his 90s
unless he was a 10yo in the war

 

The youngest man in WW2 is 12. So, Bearz is lying.

 

woah same e.e except it was my grandpa who died

 

Mmm

 

The past four or so generations of men in my family have joined the military in some way. My grandpa fought back in 'Nam.

This is a tradition I am breaking, and have no problem breaking, because I just don't feel like joining the army. I'm too lazy.
