Demented Posted August 27, 2009 Content Count: 750 Joined: 02/28/09 Status: Offline Share Posted August 27, 2009 Great Uncle, WWII, Marines, Fought in the Pacific. Recipient of two Purple Hearts, and a Silver Star. His unit was seizing an air field and got ambushed by machine gun fire. One of his buddy's legs got fucked up really bad and fell down. He didn't realize he was gone until he was across the runway. He ran back into the lead storm and got his friend. And a bullet in the ass! Sadly, he was killed during one of the last island invasions before the war ended. And my other great uncle fought in the Battle of The Bulge. He only spoke of what the things he did once, and killed himself slowly with alcohol after the war. A bit further back, my great-great-great-grandpa (i think that's how many greats it has been...hmm) fought for the Union against all those asshole rebels! ;-) That's fucking crazy. Link to comment
