My mom enlisted in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and my parents actually bought our home thanks to the loan she got through the GI Bill.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in a Navy family.
My father and brothers were in the military.
I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.
My father-in-law was a nuclear-submarine captain. My father was in the military.
I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.
I went to college and law school with the help of the GI Bill. That experience moved me so much, I dedicated the rest of my life to serving this great country and helping others succeed.
I stayed in the Navy until July of 1946.
My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.
My grandpa was in the Navy, but it wasn't something that was expected or planned for me to do.
I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
