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..

From the article above, this one always tears me up.

He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 39th Parallel.

Grandpa is 91 this year. Flew missions in the South Pacific.

Dad was drafted within 10 days of his cutoff date age of 25 for Vietnam. Lucky he made it or else the handle would suffer from the lack of me.
