How many people do you know in the Armed Forces


Today being Memorial Day, it’s intersting to think of how many people you know that served in the U.S. Armed Forces past and present.

I know of five:

• Army: Rob Frey (best friend from high school)

• Army: Ben Ouwinga (friend from high school)

• Marines: Tanya (high school girlfriend)

• Army: My dad

‚Ä¢ Navy: Billy Benham (friend of my girlfriend. I’m counting him, cuz I met him a couple times)

I find it odd that I don’t know anyone from college that served in the Armed Forces. Plus I’m just surprised at how low my number is. How many do you know?

Most people who are in the service and went to college go into the service before college. I used to know a couple of people in the service, but I can’t honestly say I know anyone today who is.
