Yep...my husbands dad, all his uncles, my dad and all of my uncles fought in WW11...some are still here, some have died...both my husband and I were lucky, all of our relatives who served in WW11 survived...that is why my husband was sending his uncle these DVDS..they are DVDs, showing basic training and other training of sailors, preparing them for war...my husband watched them last nite, to make sure that they were all ok, not damaged in the mail, as actually sometimes does happen...my husband got quite a kick out of those, as my husband himself is retired military(tho, he is Army)...so the time frame for these DVDs is exactly right for his uncle...right time frame, right branch of the military...
My own dad passed on several years ago, while a senior...a sharper mind, a more inquiring mind, I have rarely seen..he knew exactly what was going on at all times...
I cannot stand it, when people slam seniors, just for being seniors...assuming that somehow their have become addled, assuming that they are feeble, assuming that they no longer take an active interest in life, and in politics...these assumptions are as far from the truth as they can be...
My uncle, a vet, just died on Friday.
God bless our vets! There is a special place in heaven for them.
