This forum is for us to share the stories of how our relationship to the military has touched, shaped, and molded our lives.  Please share as much or as little as you are willing to make public.  We ask that you share your own story, but that may mean sharing how your mother's or grandfather's military service affected your own life.  You might also include if and how that military service has affected your Unitarian Universalism and Liberal Faith.  In order to respect these stories, the ability to reply to them is limited.  Let these stories stand on their own.
