“Getting the chance to be around D-Day vets IS humbling, isn’t it?”
Yes, it so very much is.
Considering less than 3,000 D Day vets survive, I’ve probably seen my last of them.
Considering there are only approximately 167,000 WW 2 vets left they’ll be hard enough to find.
I’ve probably met my last D-Day vet as well. Living in a rural area with a few small towns, the odds are slim. There are still a few WWII vets around here but very few. I’m glad for the opportunities I’ve had to meet the ones I have.
But there are still many other vets to meet and I enjoy every one of them and hearing the different things they have to say. I’m all ears when they start talking, never knowing what I might learn from them.
