I hate to see the wwii combat vets go. They were ordinary men who rose to the occasion to perform exceptional and brave exploits. We have them to thank for everything we have. It is so sad that many young people have not been made aware of their sacrifices.
Thank you to ALL vets, wwii and otherwise!
I’ll never forget the opening of Band of Brothers, when they interviewed one of the real members of Easy Company, about how in his small town, four men committed suicide, because they were classified as 4F, and couldn’t enlist.
A different time, indeed.
