Pitiful and shameful, isn't it? My father was on bombing runs over Germany at 19 years old. Prisoner of War for one year in Germany after being shot down over Denmark. A gentleman I recently met at a reunion tried to rescue my brother from a burning helicopter in Vietnam. He was 19 at the time. BTW my brother died, 23 years old.

Your brother was a hero. My thanks for his service. Very, very few of today's 19 year olds could hold a candle to the young men of your father's era.
