Good question! Grandfather- WW1, Uncles- WW2, Uncle & Cousins- Vietnam(all cousins died from cancer due to Agent Orange), Father-in-law-Korean War, Nephew- Gulf War. Please, NO MORE WAR!

I was in the gulf war, my brother Afg & Iraq2, my father in VN and my ancestry has been in every war since the birth of the US.

Yes, both of my grandfathers and one great uncle in World War II and my brother in the Gulf War.
Coincidentally I went on vacation 2 years ago to Dover, UK and I got to stand in the same spot where my grandfather had arrived some 70 odd years prior to fight in the war. He is still alive now at 92 years old and he loved to hear about how we were in the same place at completely different times, fortunately for completely different reasons. 😄

Yes, in nearly every war going back to the Revolutionary War.

My late stepdad, Captain Sidney Senfeld, a doctor, was awarded many medals for his actions during the north African campaign of WWII.

My grandfather was in Korea. Another grandfather was in a war too, but I don't know which. I think I heard he was a spy.
