I forgot about my familys history of Military Service. My Great Uncle was in the Royal Air Force, A Bomber Pilot. He died in the last days of WWII to my knowledge.
My Great Grandfather and Grandfather both served in the prestigious Black Watch. The name stems from the Dark Kilts they wear into battle. They have a proud military history from the 1700's to today, as they now fight in Iraq. My Grandfather was stationed in India during World War II. My Great Grandfather, I beileive he is my great grandfather, I'll have to clarify was an Airman as well. In the E Airborne Parachute Regiment.
I'd like to find out more about my familys Blackwatch History. If anyone knows any forums or contact lists that may be helpful in me tracking down more records I'd be incredibly thankful, I've already been looking around for info. Aximsite is a big place though, you never know what you can find out. Thanks in advance.
My father served 23 years inb the Air Force (US). Started in the Army Air Corp and my grandfather on my moms side served in the German army as a cook during WWII. And of course, as I saoid earlier, I served 3 years in the Army.
Never served, but my one grandfather was in WWII and survived the Beach at Normandy. My other grandfather was in Korea and Vietnam, and the Good Lord Blessed me with both of them surviving so I could see them today.
I'm only 17, and I know, at least the people around here, in my generation, we don't respect our elders enough, and all the people who fought for this great country. Both veterans and the people still serving. I also know that I may not show it as much as I should to my grandfathers, but to everyone here who has served in any area, to defend our country, and to help us make it what it is today. I salute you all, and I thank you so very much. God Bless you, and I love you all, and I hope that you all take your own sweet time in living and enjoy the life you fought, or are fighting, for.

J-roc, here in the states we can contact the NARA for official information on our relatives' service records. I'll bet there is a similar organization for Canadian and UK service records.
