Veterans in My Tree

In honor of Veteran's Day, I thought I'd share the military heroes found in my family tree. Since some of the veterans are still living (some still serving), I have chosen to list only their relationship and not their names. This is not all the veterans in my family tree, only the ones I have uncovered so far. Hopefully by next year, I will have uncovered more.
