OK  family military  for me  were..
------------------
My  father was radar officer in ww2   also  served  with the corps on 
engineers on a tem doing pontoon  bridges design for invasion forces,  
 
After WW 2   My Father Went to   work  For Huges Aircraft Co.   ( something 
to  do with  Polaris stuff, Surveyor  Lander,  Syncom and Early Bird,  
COMSAT  etc..  and then the spooky ones  he  would  never tell me about no 
matter how much I pestered him! 

He commanded the  Reserve AFTRS unit in Van  Nyes  Calif.  in the 50s/60s 
Leonard Nimoy was in his  unit! My Dad   retired out of reserves at  Lt. Col
-------------------
 My uncle   served in WW2  also  and  was  Signal Corps   He retired out  
of   Active Duty as a Major 
 
Unfortunately,  both are deceased Both  great   relatives, friends and 
mentors .
 
---------------------------
Then I need to add a  group of Nike Radar  site personal that were all my 
adopted  older brothers. Fantastic friends,  mentors and at times 
co-conspirators! Blessed be  the LA 55 Pt.  Vincente  Nike Radar  site  LA-55 in Palos 
Verdes  California..
 
The  site is not longer there, and many of my  old  friends are passed on.

Agreed; although I never had the  chance to serve myself, I do come from
a military family (RAF/WAAF/RAAF/CMF  etc).

You have my genuine sorrows...  A lot of  soldiers' remains will never be 
found, which is why we honour them; they  will remain buried forever in 
Flanders Fields and elsewhere.   Australia's other sacred day is Anzac Day, 
wherein we were ordered to take  part in an utterly pointless action.
