Grandpa’s Uniform

The first day that I saw that uniform I could picture a Saber jet flying through the air amid flak, bullets and rockets.  (The rockets didn’t come until the later part of the war.) My great-great grandfather down to my grandfather all served in the Air Force serving the United States with pride and dignity.  My grandfather, Robert served the Korean War as a crew chief working on Saber jets that flew against the Russian made/Korean flown MiGs.  Robert traveled all over the world but never went over to Korea to the main fighting, but did sign up to go to Iceland to fight and work on the jets. 
I thought that this was really interesting that three generations entered the military and served the United States when the fourth generation, my dads, didn’t go in.  That uniform means a lot to me because I plan on carrying on the tradition of serving in the Armed Forces.
