I have a neighbor that’s a WWII Vet that’s 93 YO. He enlisted in the Navy and served the last few months of the war in the Pacific on a boat that went from island to island carrying mop up troops. He never saw actual combat himself, as the Japanese navy was pretty much extinct by the time he got in.

He was born a poor hill billy (there’s nothin’ wrong with that) and through good business practices, became a very, very wealthy farmer. There is absolutely no arrogance in this guy.

My wife's uncle Bud is a WW2 Navy Vet,is 95 and still kicking. He was on a supply ship. He lives in my late mother in laws house (his sister) worked in the steel mill his whole life and never married. We let him live there rent free and he pays his bills and the property taxes. We go over there everyday and check on him. Yesterday the Mrs. made him some chicken and dumplings with a peach cobbler dessert. He's a bit hard of hearing but still gets around!
