it's an especially poignant day for our remaining ww2 vets. at reunions, there are less and less who are there each time. a special thank you, with deep gratitude, to our greatest generation.

Family of vets dan, thank you all...Wife, oldest son and me were all USAF..Had 3 uncles in WWII, two in Pacific and one in Germany..thanks to all that have served..Having dinner at Applebees tonite with couple old vet friends..
