Military is in our blood

Lexington, VA

The Preysz family has produced a number of military men. For example, my grandfather, Louis R. F. Preysz, was in the U.S. Army (World War I era); my father, Louis R. F. Preysz Jr., was in the U.S. Marine Corps (World War II era); I was in the U.S. Army, Louis R. F. Preysz III(VN era); and my son, Daniel T. Preysz (Iraq/Afghanistan era), was in the U. S. Navy. In addition, my great-great-grandfather and my great-great-great-grandfather were captains in the Norwegian army, and were presented with a seal and coat of arms by the king of Norway for military distinction in the war with Sweden in 1808; statues are erected to their memory throughout Norway.
