my grandpa was elcapitano of what they call a corvette, they would protect the big liners that travelled across the channel and shoot down u boats... not as cool as yours though!
I got a pair of binoculars that were my grandpas. He was shot between the fingers while looking through them. Still got the bullet in them. They're my lucky charm.
My great grandpa was the leader of the Russian military and second in command to the czar of the whole country before the revolution in 1917. I still have some Russian nobility heirlooms like 20ish legit jade eggs and some other things
