My father was a non-combatant medic during Vietnam.

Granddad (paternal)- US coast guard during the second world war. He ran supplies up and down the seaboard in a truck.

Ggrandfather(paternal) - blocked by the govt from serving in WW1 due to being German, cleared of spying charges though.

Grandfather (maternal)- medically exempt, blind in one eye and had a war critical job (miner)

Ggrandad - exempt from ww1, war critical job (miner)

Farther back we had some officers in the Napoleonic wars. No idea what my relatives from Lebanon did.

Had two second uncles fight the Soviets at the battle of leningrad. One was severely injured and died, the other lived. I've heard I have both yankee and confederate ancestors.
