Nothing "hokey" about that that. That's why I joined the military....To serve my country. Now as for joining the branch I did, that was a different story. My father was career Marine Corps, so I joined the Navy knowing it would just chap his a**. I also come from a long line of Warriors. On my father's side of the family, we have traced our military history back to the Vikings. My mother's families military history goes back to border raiders in old world Scotland. As far back as we could trace things, military service has not skipped a generation.
