I always loved researching WWII, then I learned my grandpa was in fact a radioman on destroyer, guarding the east coast from u-boats,

, thought that was the only person in my family to ever be in the navy, but it turns out I'm a distant relative of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry (by marriage through my great uncle) And thats about all the naval tradtion in my family. (my 2 greatx3 grandfathers were in the Civil war, we still have one of their resignation letters)
