  8. Um, I missed 8. I'm a failure. (I also have never had a family member in the service, so can I get partial credit for that being my lack of knowledge?)

  12. OK, trivia to your triva...in regards to the Medal of Honor, the question is not written right.
    Nobody has ever "Won" any medal in the military.
    All the medals are Earned or awarded...but you don't "win" it like in the olympics.
    But, most people don't know that.
    Good blog.
    My dad retired Air Force, I was dumb and joined the Army.
