I'm sure this topic has been posted before but I couldn't find one, plus we have new members.

We'll, most of my family was born just before WWII or just after, so not many of my relatives were involved.

My Great great Uncle served in the 1st Infantry Division and was on Omaha Beach for D-Day where he was hit bad and got the lucky ticket home.

I have two distant relatives on my grandmother's side who where in the Pacific and saw action on The Solomon Islands, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, lived through it all. Not sure what unit they were in however.

My grandfather served in the Navy during the Korean War/Cuban Missile Crisis aboard a Destroyer Escort, I believe it was the U.S.S. Huse (DE-145).
