    Default Ancestors who fought in WW2?

    Do you guys have any ancestors that fought in the Great War 2.0?

    And, if so, whose side did they fight on?

    I'll get this started with two of my Great-Grandfathers. They both served in the United States Navy. I think one served in the Atlantic Theater. While the other served in the Pacific theater.

    Here's a picture of them, with my Great-Grandmothers.

    Yes. Two great grandfathers. One in the navy and the other in the marines.
    I think you can guess what side they fought on.

    My granddad was in Italy in a tank regiment. Later on, he was in Palestine as part of a peace-keeping force.

    That's pretty awesome.

    My Great-Grandfathers always spoke highly of the United Kingdom and its people. They told me stories about the times they interacted with the Royal Navy.
