My dad. Serving in Desert Storm in 1991 and as a liaison officer in Kuwait in '09My Dad and Brother are in the Army too. My brother is a Private in the Royal Signals Corps, and my Dad is a Company Sergeant Major in the Royal Logistics Corps. He went to Iraq in 2003 and went to Bosnia on a UN peace keeping tour a while back. Well proud of my Dad tbh.
And for caring about the family enough to turn down an Officer promotion in '06

Yesterday in Poland, it was also Polish Independence Day.I knew a Polish war veteran not too long ago. He had to literally starve himself to death to put himself out of his missery, because it's still illegal to commit assisted suicide.
It's celebrated every year on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of Poland's assumption of independent statehood in 1918 after 123 years of partition by Russia, Prussia and Austria. So this date, is double-important for me, since I am from Poland.
Lest we forget.
