Marine Generations

[echo3oscar1833]

Evening all, this is something I have been curious about for the last couple of weeks, and am finally getting around to asking the question. Who here comes from a family of Marines. Myself I am a Second Generation Marine. This includes my Uncle who served in Vietnam, My Dad who served in the late 70's to the mid 80's, and then myself. Together we have 14 years service combined, and is something that myself, Dad, and Uncle take very serious and are very proud of. Semper Fi:usmc:

I was the first in my family to join the Marines. My father and uncles were Army. My son is a Marine PFC in school in Pensacola.

My dad was a Marine. He served from '53 - '58. He was the first Marine in our family. All my uncles and family before them were either Army or Navy.

There was another,,, John Stark, Commander of the battle of Breed's Hill, Boston. But that was Army, Don't count either.

I'm a first generation American and it was I who first served in our country's military, the Marine Corps being the start of my military career. My father was in the navy and my grandfather in the army, but with the losing team.
