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.
Very true, time waits for no one. WWII vets there are not many left, few Korean War vets also. Vietnam era guys still have some time. We all go down this road, we do not know when it will end. I encourage all freepers to get into a routine of prayer, may God bless you and all those you love.
