Both Grandfathers served in WWII; maternal was a Navigator in the Army Air Corps (what the Air Force was called before it was the Air Force) and was shot down over Belgium. He put himself through school as a bookkeeper for a local bank, and after nearly forty years at the same bank he was the Senior Vice President that ran the place. He just passed away last June. Paternal was a Seabee that fought with the Marines at Iwo Jima. Mostly spent time as a police officer in a few small towns in western PA. He turns 90 in May.
