I was the third generation in my family to serve in the Army. My paternal grandfather served during World War 1, although he didn't go Over There. My Dad was a World War 2 veteran. I served in Operation Desert Storm and was recalled for Operation Joint Endeavor, although in that last deployment, I went no farther than Heidelberg, where I was on the staff of the Command Surgeon, US Army, Europe; the greatest threat I faced in that last action was a hangover from all that great German beer.

But the United States may not be in any better shape.
