My mom just told me that one of my grandma& #39;s brothers, so my uncle, got a dishonorable discharge for "slapping the shit out of an officer who called him a nigger" but then he asked Sen. Hubert Humphrey to get it made an honorable discharge. And he did. Incredible.

He slapped the shit out of a white officer in the 50s. And got it overturned in the 60s. What?! This story is WILD.

"Our family history is messy."

WHOSE IS NOT, MOTHER?!

I asked when his funeral was (I was away in school) and my mom goes, "Well, you know he originally wasn& #39;t supposed to be buried at Fort Snelling but..."

NO, I DID NOT KNOW. I never know.

Man, what the fuck?! My mom told me when my grandma got remarried (to the only grandpa I knew), she just declared herself married at one point and then secretly got married at a church WITHOUT TELLING MY MOM OR MY AUNT OR ANYONE ELSE.
