I served in the regular army for three years and in the National Guard for three years. I did my basic and AIT at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma and was stationed at Crailshiem, Germany. While in the guard I was part of the security at the !996 Olympics. I'm glad I served. I have a lot of great memories and met some great people.

Since I am a woman I have never been in the service.  My father fought in WWII.  He came home in 1945.  He fought in the Battle of the Bulge.  He was shot in the hand while over there and he got a purple heart.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I never was enlisted, but my roommate from college is in Afghanistan right now.  I considered doing it when he did it but there are a lot of reasons I choose not to.  I do respect everyone who has served to protect our way of life.

Was never in the military. Just a military "brat", born on a military base, and lived on many. My older brother was not born on  a base, but was in the Army and the Navy, lifer! My dad was in the Army and the Air Force, lifer. Can tell you my first toys were military gear, minus the weapon and needles in a first aid kit. The bayonet stayed. Later in life I taught martial arts to two friends who joined up. One was an Air Borne Ranger, who later when to Columbia Un. And was Un. of Miami graduate who became an officer in the MP's. Lots of workout friends were in the military as well.

I was never in the service, but like lots of other families out there, my dad was in the Army, and my brother also served in the Army, we have had lots of family members but never me personally.  I would like to say Thank You to any veterans or current military personnel!!  I know everybody in my family truly appreciates all the sacrifices that military men and woman make for us !!
