Are there people of your family who fight in a war ? My grandfather

I fought in the great 4chan war

my great grandfather died in a concentration camp. some dirty jew gave him a disease when he was on guard duty.

Granpa was in the Waffen SS,he lost his arm when a artillery shell exploded nearby and was sent home.Did some signal intelligence work later when soviets attacked with full force in 1944 for finnish army.

neither of my granddads did.
one joined voluntarily to the army before the conscription started so that he wasn't sent to the battlefield.
another was simply an elite student so he was placed on a mainland.

My grandfather's half brother/cousin (not sure which) was infantry in the Korean War.

My grandfather himself was in the army during the Vietnam War, but he wasn't deployed - he was an instructor in an armor (tank) outfit.

>>68696792
My grandfather did the same during WWII.
He had a polish gf, there

Grandfather was a nazi
Great Grandfather shot nazis

>>68696957
I hope your great grandfather was at least a based nationalist and not some dirty tolerant commie.

My grandfather had two brothers. Ony guy was in the reserve police force and sat in prison during WW2 because he refused to take orders from the germans. The other guy worked for the resistance and I know very little about it, he had to escape to Sweden to not get captured. Since my grandfather was too young to join the military, he didn't join until the war was over and was part of a peacekeeping force in Berlin after the war.

Great-grandfather fought in 1920 war against commies. Got wounded near Grodno

my great great great grandfather died for Britain in ww1

>Mom's side

Great grandfather was in the Army. Fought in WW2 on both fronts and Korea. Spent time stationed in both Germany and Korea, as well as all over the U.S. There's a family rivalry over some of his war trophies.

Grandpa got drafted for Vietnam, but he didn't have a brother do they stuck him in the National Guard. The National Guard's tradition of not doing shit continued throughout his life as a bum.

>Dad's side

Great Uncle fought in Vietnam and was airborne in the Army. Had flashbacks for years, especially while skydiving, which was a bit of a problem because he ran a small skydiving business. Also gave a training rifle to my Dad to use as a toy. He still has it.

Great Great Uncle fought for Italy in WW2, not sure if it was when they were allies with Germany or not though.

>Me
In the Army as a MP. Mom hates it because her Grandpa (the one that fought in WW2 and Korea) tried to make sure nobody in the family ever joined the military again.

granpa dindu nouffin

Grandpa on mother's side: fought in the pacific during ww2. Was on an aircraft carrier as an airplane mechanic. Only saw minimal combat as such. Hung around the Philippines for almost the whole war.

Grandpa on father's side: was too young for ww2 but joined up after the war and was part of the American occupation of Germany for a bit.

All I know. None too exciting.

Great-great grandfather fought in Belgium during WWI and both my dad and uncle were conscripted for Vietnam. That's about it, maybe further back there was some others

My family had a rather extensive history serving as science officers in the Air Force and Navy. I plan on going into the Air Force for my Masters when I'm like 32 or something to become a Lieutenant.

Nobody's been a soldier though, as terrible as this sounds just giving our bodies for this country is rather foolish. You can do quite a bit more developing technology.

My father's family has a strong military tradition, and it's an old noble family, with autistically precise records of family history up to the 11th century. They pretty much participated in every single conflict since France is a thing. The family castle was first built by a guy from a minor branch of a local noble family with wealth brought back from the crusades. Our name is even on the Arc de Triomphe.

Closer to me, my grandpa was in the army in the Second World War, then joined the Free French Forces. His father was a cuirassier during WW1, before they realised charging on horse at machine guns isn't a great idea. He was lucky though, his horse was shot under him and destroyed one of his legs, but acted as shield. He stayed under it a full day, but somehow made a full recovery and went back to the front a few months later. He died during WW2, though, volunteered to be taken as hostage, died in a camp of typhus.

On the other side of the family, I know a lot of less. My grandpa might have fought during the Spanish Civil War, but we know for sure that once he arrived in France he was in the Resistance. My grandma's brother died during WW2. Her father of course fought in WW1, and did well, got field promoted and awarded some medals.

We used to have consciption anyway, so I'd imagine most of my ancestors participated in the big wars of their day.

>>68696668
One of my grandpas fought in the Portuguese colonial wars in Africa.

one of my ancestors fought for the confederates but he lived in ny and i don't think he saw any action. im not sure exactly how it worked but apparently we belonged to some weird confederate enclave in upstate ny. i know we used to try to catch slaves and bring them up through canada to return them but i don't think we were ever actually successful.

i know a lot of us were pro nazi too.

>>68705309
Do you know roughly where he was posted? I heard you guys did pretty well in the war up until the Carnation Revolution.
>>68705944
Know anything about where he was posted? Reason I ask is because I have a bit of an interest in the various African Bush wars, some fascinating shit.
>>68696668
Great-Grandfather and all his brothers save one (who would later serve in Korea) served in WW2, three in the air force one in the army. Great-Grandfather was a bombardier and kept rather detailed records of the targets he hit in mainland Europe. Never got to speak to him much about the war since he died 11 years ago. Apparently was regarded as very lucky since he flew an assload of sorties but aside from some flak his bomber was never intercepted by fighters. One of his brothers wasn't as lucky and got shot down twice.

Grandpa was in ww2

Uncle was in Vietnam

Grandpa on dad's side fought in the 9th ID for thE US in WWII. Saw action in N. Africa, landed at Utah Beach, and his unit got nearly wiped out at the Battle of the Bulge in the Huertgen Forest. He said he was the only senior NCO that made it from his company out of Huertgen. Grandpa on mom's side was a logistics/truck/ambulance driver in the rear and wasn't in combat. He was a career military man, though. Retired as a CSM with tours in Europe, Korea, Vietnam, and Germany.

>>68706226
true patriots.

Two great uncles in world war 2.

great grandfather died on D-Day

>>68706313
I'm guessing he meant they were in its predecessor, which was called the United States Army Air Forces.
It's acceptable to just shorten it down to Air Force when talking about WW2 I guess considering that was the only war it existed for.
Before ww2 it was the Air Corps and afterwards the Air Force obviously became a separate branch.

>>68706313
Was simplifying it a bit, great-grandfather and two brothers were in the Army Air Force. Great Grandfather was in the 8th for the duration of his service, can't remember about his brothers. One served in the Pacific at first and got the silver star for a bombing raid on Rabaul, the other was the one who was shot down twice. First time he managed to escape with the help of Yugoslav partisans and the British OSS, second time he got sent to Stalag Luft III, a few months after the whole Great Escape happened. According to him they were going to try again when the Germans started moving them around to other camps as the allies started advancing. Eventually advance elements of Patton's army got to them. Final brother who was in WW2 who wasn't in the air force participated in the Battle of the Bulge (described it largely as being constantly moving backwards, then forwards) until he got wounded in the arm by arty taking one of the bridges on the Rhine.
>>68706317
>Huertgen
People often forget about that one, but that was some pretty heavy shit. Your grandpa must've been one tough bastard.

My grandfather was a fighter pilot in WW 2 and Korea. His brother died at Monte Cassino. My brother fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

>>68705917
>>68706226
Well if we count shit as far back as the Civil War and the Crusades I >>68704765 had two family members who fought for the Confederates as cavalry raiders (they were brothers who later turned to crime). One of them was involved in the raid on Lawrence.

Also had a family member who was a general in the American Revolution, for America of course. But this also means he fought for the British for quite a while before the revolution.

All on my mom's side. But obviously all so long ago it doesn't really matter.

yeah he was. he said huertgen messed him up more than any other of his campaigns. he lost nearly all of his friends and told my dad and his siblings that they had to literally hug the trees to stay alive. the germans set their artillery shells to explode over the canopy so the units died from tree shrapnel and shit. he also said it was the coldest he's ever been (and he's from michigan mind you, he knows cold) and that his piss froze before it hit the ground. the battle of the bulge gets all the attention, but the americans got absolutely slaughtered in huertgen. his company had only 15-20 guys make it out alive after that.

my grandpa was a larger than life kind of guy. his war experience was really something else and he never talked about it, so you know it was legit. after huertgen, his unit freed a concentration camp which also really messed him up. and he even got to shake hands with the russians on the river elbe in dessau at the end of the war.

>>68705917
>volunteered to be taken as hostage
He surrendered?

>>68706624
Well we have had within the past 1-200 years several engagements where we either had mass call-ups or mass volunteers, therefore it stands to reason that if/when these soldiers had families there's going to be a lot of descendants who can say that their uncle/grandfather/father/etc. served in some capacity.
>>68706633
Shit, glad he was still around to relay his experiences to someone. I always feel the urge (even if I realize its probably rude) to ask older vets from WW2/Korea (and Nam too since they're getting older) about their experiences for the simple fact that there's less of them around. Only family member I had who went through heavy ground combat was a distantly related grand-uncle who served in Korea and saw some heavy shit there. Met him at a family reunion, where he spoke more about the hijinks and other somewhat upbeat stuff that he experienced. Then I met his son who told me that in private he sometimes talks about the fact that his dad was one of the older guys in his company (he was about 23-24 in Korea, most guys were a few years younger) and how a lot of his buddies didn't make it out. Also told me that he served alongside a unit of Turks and described them as "absolutely crazy bastards" who preferred to engage the reds with bayonets and long knives.

>>68706722
>Paratrooper
Shit, the guy probably operated pretty hard. I haven't read much on the subject but from what I can recall Portuguese paratroopers were usually regarded as among the most professional of the forces stationed in the colonies. How is the war remembered in Portugal today?

yeah. my grandad isn't around anymore but ive heard all of the stories from my dad and his siblings. we've traced his entire route through N Africa and Europe with the 9th. his unit liberated one of the nordhausen satellite camps and we found some pictures he took there. he worked in credit unions and banks after the war and wasn't particularly fond of sons of abraham, but always said that there's no fucking reason to ever treat someone like that (in the camps). ironically, he punched a german lieutenant and took his luger, which is willed to me from my dad. and he also had his own cool story- at utah beach, he kept his ring finger on his right hand because his St. John's Military Academy high school ring ricocheted a bullet off it.

My dad fought in the war against the Croats and was mobilized during the 1999 bombing.

My father fought in the colonial war.

My dad fought in the Vietnam war as a South Vietnamese soldier. Because he served time in the "reeducation" camps, my family was able to come here.

Ancestor on mummy's side got a phat land grant in VA for his service in the Revolution

Ancestor on Da's side spied on Union trains from his mountaintop farm in WV, tipped off CSA guerillas who would raid them for supplies. Caught and hanged 1863 RIP

Some other guy on mom's side (not sure if direct ancestor) fought for the Union, apparently didn't accomplish much

Grandpa on father's side was a forward observer for artillery in WWII. Won Bronze Star and a couple Krauts surrendered to him personally late in the war

Also my godfather was in 'Nam if that counts. He doesn't talk about it much, so no clue if he did anything interesting

>>68719860
i also have stories if anyone is interested

My granny's uncle fought in World War I. Don't know much about it though apart from the patch she had off his jacket. It was three vertical V's which Wikipedia tells me means he was a sergeant.

>>68719893

Don't wait for some dork on a Laotian kite-flying chatroom to order you around

>>68719514

Nevermind, I didn't know him at all.
He was a helicopter pilot and shot down by the mujaheeds somewhere in Argun canyon.

The father of my grand mother from my fathers side joinned the French navy in 1904 for 10 years initially, but WW1 broke out so he was only able to stop in 1919.
The father of my grand father on my mothers side was made a prisoner in 1939 when the war began, and worked in German fields until 1944.

>>68696668
My great grandfather fought in the Korean war.
I'd sign up to fight if it came to Korean war round two.

>>68696668
My grand-grandpa was pilot-paratrooper instructor in OSOAVIAHIM (soviet paramilitary organisation), trained soviet civils in pre-war time and served in airborn military communications during 1941-1945.

Mine escaped from Yugoslavia after the collapse and got money after buying land here in the North of Mex.

No.68696668

The only family member I know of that actually fought was like a 3rd cousin or something that moved from Ireland to Canada and became a citizen right in time for him to get conscripted into the Canadian army during WW1.
From what I've read about him is he fought in a lot of the big battles during the war and in the last couple months of it he got shot in the arm by a German machine gun and had to get it amputated

>>68696668
Great grandfather fought in WW1 (British), got gassed at the Somme

I guess pic related is the only war we lost. Too bad (though in retrospect, communism was a bad idea).

my grand father fought in the Pacific. in WWⅡ.
In my childfoot, he told me "they were very strong,respectable soldiers."

>>68696668
My great uncle was a helicopter pilot who died in the Iran Iraq war

>>68723694
On which side?

>>68723798
Iran

>>68723839
Somehow I thought so. I met a few Iranians here but I've never met any Iraqis in the U.S.

>>68723933
It makes sense because there are more Iranians that Iraqis. Not to mention the fact that Iranians have more opportunity to emigrate here.

You are probably better of asking here whose male family member did not fight in Winter War, Continuation War or Lapland War.

My fathers uncle had an unfortunate passing. It was 13th of March, last day of the Winter War.
Around 9am he got badly wounded, around 10am he was treated but he did not make it and died, peace was declared and battles ceased around 11am.

My grandpa was strafed by nazi's in WWII. Thats all I know. The other was a mechanic who never saw battle, and my great grandad immigrated to america before WW1 broke out

Dad was too young for Nam

My granddad on my dads side was at tobruk. Real shit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Tobruk

My granddad on mums side wasnt in any wars i think but i think he was a cop before they came to Australia from Nairobi and at the time there was rebels doing bad shit which is why they left and my dad the other day told me the rebels were muslims lol

>>68696668
My maternal grandfather's father died in the Independence war and his grandfather died in WW1. His older brother fought in the Korean war.

My father's maternal grandfather was an officer in the army. I think he fought in both Balkan wars and possibly in the last Russian war, but i am not sure.

>>68704299
why don't you join them in Syria?

WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Afghanistan

>>68696668
Grandfather on mums side saw a lot of combat all through the islands and pacific in WW2 from 1940-45, other granddad was a mechanic and stationed in Darwin, he dodged a few bombs but was otherwise ok.
None of my parents generation on either side served- dad missed being conscripted by about 3 days into Vietnam.
I did a couple of tours of Timor, 3 tours of Afghanistan and 2 tours of Iraq so I'm kind of the black sheep of the family

Great Grandad flew a seaplane in the Pacific theater during WW2, flying in supplies and such

My grandfather was in the Polish army and fought in Italy during the war.

My both granddads fought in both of the Finnish-Russian conflicts. Other one as a supply-driver and other one as a pioneer. Before that my grand-something dad fought in the crimean war and apparently died there. He's now buried somewhere there. Literally thousands of kilometers away. Makes you think.

>>68696668

None at all

I'm Vietnamese. Great grandfather was in the French military or something. Need to ask my dad about it.

Bumb.

>>68696668
9 out of last 10 generations of my family have fought Russians. Excluding my father who mainly fought the Serbs and some Russians in '90s Bosnia, the other fought them in what is today Bulgaria, Ukraine, Caucuses.

Paternal great-grandfather and grandfather were in WWI and WWII respectively. Both survived.

вимp

I never knew anything about my Finnish great grandfather but he did fight in the winter war pretty sure.

My English great grandfather was a POW for the last week or so of WW2
