20 year old Navy sailor Tony Curtis watched the surrender ceremony from the deck of the submarine tender Proteus about a mile away.

I recall being a kid in the early 70s, it seemed every other man was a WW2 vet, and many of them not that old. Now they are (very) scarce.

I saw a group of Vietnam vets in an auto parts store last summer, they looked older than the WW2 vets back then.

Time is a thief.
