I served from 1986-1994 as a Military Policeman in the U.S. Army National Guard.
My Grandfather served in Germany from 44-46 (at the end, and after all was over I believe). He cared for the German POW's and managed the unit during the early stages of peacetime. One evening he came downstairs (they were using a large German estate as their HQ, and saw his brother in law (my Great Uncle) sitting on the couch waiting for him, this was really great for them since he had served with the US Third Army under Patton and just happened to be passing through while joining another unit.
One of my grandfathers survived Pearl Harbor, but i cant remember which one.
I served the state of Missouri for the 3 years - 86 - 89,, does that count? j/k.. :D
I want too thank all the men and women in our military services for our freedom!! I also pray for the men and women over seas for there safe return home!! and remember the victims of 9/11.
