Agree. Well worth the read and very humbling.
When you compare the "men" of today that are the same age as he was when he entered service, the difference is just night and day.
His was the greatest generation for a damn' good reason and based on how our country is going today, there'll never be another one like it.
Ummm, I have to say I agree and that’s unfortunate.
The guys that enlisted after Sept 11, 2001 were of the same ilk, or so I thought. The same sacrifices were made. The difference between the two.
The WW2 generation just went back home and lived their lives.
They didn’t come home and manipulate the VA for bogus disabilities to collect a tax free check for the rest of their lives.
And for those that don’t know, it is a huge problem.
