On his paternal side he had ancestors in the Mormon Battalion which has the US Army record for longest overland march in history.

That was in the 1840's just like I said, over 150 years.

Somehow he and his immediate family have managed not to serve in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I, or Iraq II.

I find that astounding.

Families like his with such a cowardly record of non service to the nations armed forces are hard to come by.

Disgusting.

There are more ways to serve the nation’s defense than just the military. We prevailed in most modern wars by our economic ability to produce what was needed for a potential military victory. It took both support and execution for our success. The Romney family has been a significant factor in the support of those efforts.
