My great X3 grandfather was a Sergant for an Arkansas troop during the Civil War, but I don't have any info on specific battles. He and 3 of his brothers, and 1 brother-in-law were all Confederates. My Great X2 or 3 on my fathers side, also was a confederate as well, he just recently recieved his military grave marker. That was an awesome day, re-enactors fired guns and cannons for our ceremony.
Then I skip to mnore recent family, don't know much about the inbetween. My granfather,US Marines, fought in Korean War, served his time, then came home. Several great-Uncles were in WW2 and Korea, Marines and Army. Most of the uncles died when I was very young, and I don't remember much.
I do have one of their issued New Testament Bibles, and also have my grandfathers issued darning kit, LOL. But it looks cool.
