My father's side of the family (the Lamonts) fought the English from the Highlands of Scotland, then high-tailed it to America after the clan they'd aligned with to kick some English butt betrayed them and allied with the enemy. Most of the Lamonts were killed, but a few were at sea...probably trying to woo hot Viking women. Anyway, once in America, the Lamonts (now LAMBS) served in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and on and on.
