RE: The PG-HQ Oral History Project
On my mothers side the land she grew up on was part of a land grant for service in the Revolutionary War. Her father was drafted for W W I but never went over. Her oldest brother went into the USN pre-war and was a plank owner on USS Hornet (CV-8) and served in her until she was lost. He served on ASW ships after that and got out after. Her next oldest brother was on one of the ships in the H-K group that captured the U-Boat in the museum in Chicago.
On my dad's side I have several relatives that were in the CSA ANV. My dad's oldest brother was in the 104th "Timberwolves" infantry division. My dad was in the USAF in 1957-1963. One of his younger brothers was stationed at one of the RTAFB bases we were doing Rolling Thunder from working on the aircraft.
Several of my cousin's have served. All of that would have been in the late Cold War and after.
