Have you been watching the Ken Burns special on PBS?

Yes, and unfortunately it reminds me that we are fast losing our WWII vets, which will only make the situation worse. I remember when my kids were younger, that they had WWII vets that came to the schools and talked about it. Even as recently as Schindler's List (about 15 years ago if I recall correctly), I believed they showed it in the high schools, but these days, I think the exposure is going down in the schools, even if it's picked up elsewhere.

This last weekend I was at the Columbus Air Show . Featured was the likely last 'Gathering of Legends', a gathering of P-51 Mustangs and pilots.(more than 100 Mustangs, incredible)
These WWII pilots are in their 80's.

They honored 46 of the Tuskegee Airmen. Lots of wheelchairs.
