I was in Iraq…
Closest to a history book moment is we were on patrol and when Abu Gharib (sp) was attacked, we responded and were in the middle of that battle.
We were in others but nothing famous.

I’m a descendant of King Alfred, the first King of England and also the Great Eagle (Chief Willenawah), head of the Cherokee nation.
My cousin was the second most famous soldier in WW2. They made a movie about him (he survived the Bataan March and had an Air Force base named after him).
My wife’s grandfather was a matchstick man in the famed 101st that stormed Normandy (Band of Brothers show)

One of Barry Bonds homers hit off my knee at turner field. Had it been 30ish homers later, the homer that broke Hank Aaron’s record would have hit off a 14 year olds knee and then stolen by a 48 year old drunk

My great x 5 grandfather was a pirate named Jean Lafitte, who resided at (and smuggled/hid out at) what is now Lafitte’s Blacksmith’s Shoppe, the oldest bar in America .. he also got up to many other shenanigans back in that time .

My voice was picked up on a field mic during the 2003 LSU-Arkansas game saying “we want Oklahoma”
Craig Bolerjack (sp) was announcing along with Spencer Tillman, and said “I heard it, but I don’t believe it”

My Grandfather was a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff (Selma, AL.) in the 60's. Stood behind George Wallace on the steps at the University of Alabama during segregation and also was in downtown Selma during the bridge crossing march from Selma to Montgomery 1965. I still have both of his batons. I'm sure they could say a lot if they could speak.

My Great, Great, Great Uncle was Colonel James Doolittle, that led the Doolittle Raid, the first American bombing of Japan in WWII. He was my grandmother’s great uncle, so I believe that’s my relation to him.
Also found out that my pledge brother is also related to James Doolittle in this way and we were actually third cousins, so that was pretty cool.
Also according to our family lore (don’t have that last name anymore), but all of the Doolittles are descended from William the Conquerer and were a bastard clan of his that got together after his death.
