My grandpa was Frank C Taylor Sr and he served in WWI. My uncle Robert W Taylor served in Vietnam and retired a Command Seargeant Major. My father was in the Air Force, but did not go over seas. My uncle William Dale Harless was in the National Guard(Marines) but did not serve overseas. Some people don't consider it being a Veteran if no active fighting is done. But if you serve your country, you serve your country. My great great great grandpa George Taylor father of William Jackson Taylor served in the Civil War. Not sure this counts but my Great Great grandfather Augustus Harless and his brother Michael Harless were union soldiers during the civil war from Gallia County. Both my Harless and Taylor lines can be traced to War of 1812 and Revolutionary War. Wanda Thacker

If you have worn the uniform then u are a veteran and deserve the recognition that goes with it. Kenneth R.
