A page for my family's veterans. If counting only Ancestors and Uncles my family has served since the Revolutionary War fighting in 12 wars and 65 Campaigns for these great United States, though if you count cousins and other distant relatives this number goes up to 12 wars and 87 Campaigns. Still only counting ancestors and uncles in those 12 wars and 65 campaigns my family has fought many battles: The Chosin Reservoir in Korea, Guam, Peleliu, Leyte, Aachen, The Bulge, and Okinawa during the Second World War, Saint-Mihiel and The Meuse Argonne in the First World War, and more than 60+ battles in the US Civil War. I'm still actively researching more of the earlier wars so expect this list to get longer, as of now I am still in the Civil War Era
