Yes, millions will remember. I had 4 cousins in Nam. We will go to the memorial airshow in central Missouri this weekend and take my 84 Y.O. father-in-law in his wheelchair. He has Parkinson's now and is unable to walk much. He too was reluctant to go to war in Europe, but entered the airforce and became a B-17 pilot flying 16 missions over Germany in late 1944 and early 1945. He was shot down and served 6 months in a POW camp manned by the Russians but survived. He was a kid in war but did as he was told to the best of his ability and he is still alive and he remembers.

I'll be at Calverton National Cemetery visiting my Pop. Combat Engineer, 4th ID. Landed Utah Beach, D-Day. Fought in France, Belgium and Germany. I'll call his brother, my Godfather. Combat Infantryman, 1st ID. Fought in North Africa, Sicily and France. Seriously wounded in France. I'll think of my Mom's brother, USMC, killed on Guam by a sniper, 1944. And I'll think of Ricky, and all the friends who never made it back.

I thought the Russians were our allies at the time. Shouldn't he have been repatriated?

Please tell your father-in-law that I said "Thank You" for his service.
