I had an uncle who served in the Marine Corp in WWII, 4th Div. He participated in the assaults on Roi & Namur, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. He was wounded on both Saipan and Iwo Jima.
A second uncle flew B-29s from Saipan, 29 missions. Two of those required emergency landings on Iwo Jima.
In all of the Thanksgivings we spent together I never once saw them speak to each other about the war and the coincidence of this.

Thanks to you and every Veteran who served America. I did not have the privilege to serve(dq'd for a minor heat murmur - I wanted to join the Navy). My twin Uncles both served in WWII. One finished his enlistment in the army as a Staff Sergeant. The Other twin made a career of the navy and retired as a Senior Chief Torpedoman.

Active Duty Air Force
I am currently Active Duty Air Force. First 10 years as Military Working Dog handler in Ramstien AB, Germany; Travis AFB, CA; Osan AB, Korea; Malmstrom AFB, Montana; Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Then 9 years as a Command and Control specialist at Eielson AFB, Alaska, and currently at Offutt AFB, NE. I am currently flying on the National Airborne Command Post as the Senior Enlisted for Nuclear Command and Control. I love the job and can't imagine doing anything else.
I had a great grandfather who served in WWI, a grandfather that served in WWII, and a grandfather who served in the Korean War. My father and Uncle served during Veitnam. All Army, I am the only Air Force in the family.
