Dang it -- I got Capt.Wellin's name wrong in the headline. Please correct it for me when you get a chance.

“And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
Sometimes I think I was born 30 years too late. We Boomers did not realize, as we were growing up, that we lived in the shadow of giants, and we live now in the shadows of the few who remain, and the ghosts of those who have gone on.

Awesome and thanks!
That’s a real man for you!
I look at these World War II vets, and have so much respect for them and their generation.
We need more people like this gentleman.
