[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] My father served as a second lieutenant in the US Army Air Corp during World War II. He was stationed at a base in Australia, I believe. He didn't see any action during the war. During a flight, the engine on his airplane failed, and he and his plane crashed into a barn. My dad broke his an arm and a collarbone, I think. This was around 1942 or so. His brother served in the US Navy during World War II. I can't remember which ship or rank, however. I know that he wasn't at Pearl Harbor on December 7th. He was part of the occupying forces for the small islands in the Pacific (nope, can't remember for certain either). My dad's other brother also served in the US Army, but he was a medic and not a soldier. As an interesting side note, I was rustling through some stuff in my room this weekend and found the enlistment document for my paternal great-grandfather. He served in the Union Army during the US Civil War. [/QB][/QUOTE]
