Did your parents serve during a war. My mother was a 'Rosie the Riveter' and my sperm-donor got shot in the arse in Sicily.

Mom actually helped build the ships at the Bath, Maine Naval Shipyard.

    Not really.  My dad arrived in Korea just a few days before the war ended.

    Momma sat around in school. She was only 10 when WW2 started. Meanwhile, Papa was like 7 years older and jumped outta airplanes into Holland and Normandy to shoost the Nazis. He came back from the war with shrapnal in his genitals and leg. He also came back with a bronze star medal and a raging hard-on. He robbed the cradle of my mother and proved his war injuries were not gonna stop me from being born. This post was edited by B.H.Wilson at March 31, 2020 4:39 PM MDT

    My father was a supply sargeant in the Marines during the Korean War. Fortunately, he served stateside.

    My grandfather was a waiter in a fancy restaurant during WWII. Does that count?

    My dad was an Army Sergeant in WWII in the China-Burma-India theater.  He wrote for the Stars & Stripes.  His brother was in Guam, I believe.  I had two other uncles in the war, but I don't know where they were stationed. This post was edited by SpunkySenior at April 1, 2020 5:42 AM MDT

    No. My parents were not born yet. 

    My grandfathers both served. One in Korea. I do not know were the other served.

      My stepfather enlisted in the US Air Force in 1961 on a 4-year hitch. It was his family’s tradition that the men joined the Air Force. As he got close to the end of his enlistment, they called him into the office where reenlistment paperwork was filed and told him, “We’re going to be honest with you. Everyone who reenlists right now is being sent to Vietnam. If you don’t want to stay in the Air Force, now is the time to decide.”   As far as I know, at no time in his entire life did he ever set foot outside of the United States.

      My mother never served in the military. 
      
      I have no knowledge whatsoever of my biological father.
