I believe a different great grandfather was also a veteran but he died long before I was born and I'm not sure what the war would have been

One of my childhood friends Grandfather was stationed on one of the ships at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. Hearing a first hand account of it was crazy.

My Uncle spent a year in Vietnam as a MP in the Army as well. He had some crazy stories.
