Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

A salute right back at you Nile. Military service has run in my family for centuries.
Same here! John Cooke came here in 1762 from Britain but fought in the Revolution on the Colonists' side; then the family had numerous members of the 7th West Virginia Cavalry in the Civil War (including my great-great-grandfather); my grandfather WWI (Silver Star, two Purple Hearts), my uncle WWII (KIA).
Proud Mountaineer from the Highlands of West Virginia; son of the Revolution and Civil War; first Europeans on the Guyandotte
