My Coolidge fifth-great-grandfather was at the Boston Tea Party and died at the Battle of Lexington. Another Coolidge fought in the French and Indian War. I had Coolidge and Cammack ancestors on both sides of the Civil War. My grandfather Coolidge fought in World War I, my father in the Navy in World War II, I was on a submarine and LST during the Vietnam War, and my nephew currently is in the Army.
