My father and father-in-law both served in WWI - FIL got 2 purple hearts.
I have 3 great-grandfathers who fought in Civil War - the 4th claimed he was "too old" so he hid out, dodging the searchers for holdouts.
Mine were in every US war starting from the Revolutionary War. Have two that were in the Civil War also, one was captured at Gettysburg. Interesting note to that one was that the POW camp was about 10 miles or so from our house at our last duty station in MD.
