World War I Army Grandfather France

World War II USN Father
Eighteen months in the jungle on a radio intercept site. Intercepting German U-Boat transmission to triangulate their locations. To dispatch torpedo-equipped planes to sink them from attacking troops and supply ships who were resupplying the troops in North Africa.

Vietnam USAF 65-69 Medic

Iraq War Army Son and daughter

All four generations have taken the same enlistment oath. To support and Defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. We all continued to honor our oath until death relieved the responsibility.

The two generations who have died are buried in military cemeteries under the same USA Flag. Now in my possession.

I believe I/we have earned the right to question our government without breaking our oaths. Especially defending against DOMESTIC enemies.
