May God bless and keep him. Shame we don't have a time machine, to go back to 1941 and bring those of his generation forward to this day and age. We sure need their courage and commitment now.

Instead, we can only advise each other to think of the miracle that heroic generation achieved and with so much less materiel and technology. What they DID have was an abiding love of God, their country and freedom, which in turn drove their commitment to rid the world of an evil which threatened to consume it.

Now another evil threatens the world, and the yellow weenies outnumber those with the fortitude to win.

Sad is an understatement.

"You know in that movie that came out last year, 'Pearl Harbor'? Well at one point there's a blue streak that goes across the screen and you can't tell what it is. Well, that's me running!"

LOL...
Bump for a great American.

"I used to ask him, 'How close did you get to the Japanese (at Guadalcanal)?' " said Fred Hatcher, a friend of Mr. Bright's and a Marine Corps veteran himself. "He'd stand up and tug on my sleeve.

I bet he could tell some stories. He did his duty as he saw fit in the finest traditions of the Corps... God Bless Sgt. Bright, USMC

You will be missed, Marine...

My neighbor of a few years ago was a survivor of Pearl Harbor. He was in the Navy and his best friend was killed next to him and it affected him greatly. He would not talk about it to us and I have no idea what he did the rest of the war. His son joined the Navy and was one of the first Navy Seals in Vietnam and he went on to become a top official in the VA

A lot of LIBERALS think after all they went through that on Dec. 7, wasn't that enough? But not these guys, they really carried the banner and they were in it for the entire duration of the war.
