My father was a vet, but not American. He was 16 years old and on his way to school in Poland when Hitler invaded Poland and took it over in about a day. His father and brother were executed for who they were, but he got away. At some point, he ended up in Poland's military as we have pictures of him in uniform. I'm not sure when they were taken though because I'm sure that Poland was occupied until the end of WWII, and my father spent years as a prisoner in a concentration camp having been captured somewhere, sometime. The stories that he used to tell about the concentration camp...things like guards tossing bread crusts into groups of people just to watch them fight each other for it as entertainment.
Anyway, my father was a veteran and so was I, but I never saw combat. I was in from 1982 - 1986...safely at Ft. Hood, TX. and Mannheim, Germany.
For anyone that served in whatever capacity, thank you.

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
