One of my ancestors was a knight that served in England.
I had many ancestors who rode along the Mayflower to settle in the "New World".
When Napoleon rode thru Poland to invade Russia, one of his soldiers defected and married a Polish gal, which started the Polish tradition which still stands today
My Grandfather (fathers side) was in the Army Air Corp for awhile, then went Infantry and was in the 3rd ID and served throughout WWII. My other Grandfather (mothers side) served in the US NAVY during WWII; Pacific Theater. My Step Grandfather served in the US ARMY as a Tank gunner, WWII.
My Uncle served in the US MARINES during Korea, INFANTRY. My other Uncle served in the US AIR FORCE, KOREA. My Father was in the US ARMY for 20 years.
A lot of my family is ex-military. Soon will I as well
