I didn't go in and serve my country. Should have, hind sight being clear and all. No one in my generation (siblings, cousins) has served except one that was in the Navy reserve.
My father was in the Navy in the early 60s (he was on the Essex during the Cuban Missile Crisis), got out after 4, went to college, and then worked at the Puzzle Palace for 25 more years.
None of his siblings were in the service. Less certain of his cousins.
Several of his Uncles were, mostly Navy. One died at Pearl Harbor I believe. Another was a POW in Germany. My (grand) Uncle Tom was career Navy enlisted.
