The Greatest Generation is rapidly fading from our midst.
What a touching and inspiring story.

Excellent. Dad was there, with the IV. He's no longer with us, unfortunately.
Wonderful story. Most appropriate for VE Day Commemorations. The sacrifice of these brave Soldiers is a debt we can never repay. But we can honor them by never forgetting what they did not only for America but the whole world.
Since my grandfathers passing a few years ago I think about him a lot. It's almost impossible for me to see such a kind and gentle man as a warrior.
Wouldn't it be nice now to have someone reproduce this quilt so that surviving veterans and their familes could purchase them for their grandchildren, etc. What a wonderful gift it would be. Beautiful story.
I wonder if they have a 6AD patch on it? Somehow the Super Sixth got left out of most of the history books. They were the spearhead of Patton's 3rd Army, they opened the door and the 4AD got all the glory. My father was in the 6AD. Check out their web sites.

Remove me from this ping list as someone (unknown) posted a huge photo that ruined my ping formating and even though someone changed this it still fouls up my ping formatting.
