He's on my Dad's mother side and from what I can tell goes back to a long line of Germany & Austria Military and Marine Officers,  and that very interesting because until today (Nov 11th, 2015) not much was known about Adam and the Becks; And, this new bit of information will help us to learn more about he and his family as well adding to the long history and tales of my family in the Military. 


From all of us to all Veterans; Bless you for your services and to family that paid the ultimate sacrifice. And curse the politicians that put you in harms way for political gains alone.
