My grandfather served as a teamster in the US Army on the Western Front of France in 1917 - 1918. He drove a team of horses to the trenches; either delivering supplies or taking wounded or dead to the rear. My uncle, his son served as a sailor aboard a ship in the South Pacific in the US Navy. My father was an Air Policeman in the USAF in the 1950s. My cousin was an Artilleryman in the US Army stationed in West Germany in the 1970s. I served as a Unit Supply Clerk initially in the US Army in West Germany in the 1980s and then later as an Infantry Officer retiring in 2003.
