I was considering posting something similar, but with all 13 of my siblings, siblings-in-law, several nieces, nephews and all my aunts and uncles having served in the IDF and currently my youngest adult sister, my two eldest foster boys and a niece serving, a post wouldn't have been enough. :D
Your family has a wonderful tradition of aserving your country!
I think more of my relatives served in the military but I don't know my dad's side of the family at all.
I had one cousin that I know of in the army.
My great-grandfather was our first veteran, he was a military doctor in WWI, in the Austro-Hungarian army. Then my grandfather was in the ISraeli military before there was a state of Israel... and since then everyone, except me, so there are names I don't even know, either.
Kathy, thanks for all your family serving in our stead. I appreciate them and you!
