Wonderful story. Thanks.

Three years ago, I flew with my now 96 year-old father to Wash. DC. to see the WWII Memorial. (and Arlington National Cemetary, among other monuments) He served in the Pacific and later was active during the Berlin airlift. He worked very hard with his time and dollars to see it built. He wept as he used his walker to go through it.

He wept again today, when he watched The Greatest Generation finally gain admittance to the Memorial.

On Thursday, Mr. RR and I are again flying to Wash. D.C. to take our nine year-old grandson to see the Memorial and other sites. I pray that we are able to see them.
