I don't know how many WWII veterans are still alive today, but the youngest would be 93 years old and the average age probably a few years older than that. Fewer than half will be around for the 80th anniversary of V-E Day. We need to honor those who are still here while we can.
75 years ago today my father was not one of those celebrating V-E Day. He was busy being shot at by the Japanese on Okinawa.
