I used to have a kindly, elderly neighbor. One day I learned he'd been a bomber pilot who flew many missions over Germany. To this day, I can't think of him without my eyes misting up.

Truly, the Greatest Generation.

Truly, the Greatest Generation.

(Just a friendly opinion...)
As I watch our volunteers in Iraq, especially when I see a news report about
one who gets back on a plane for Iraq after a few weeks of leave, knowing there
might be a crude road-side bomb, an RPG, or a bullet with his/her name on it...
I think they are now in the process of laying their claim to that title as well.

I have been priviledged to know in my lifetime, many older American men associated with the daylight precsion bombing of German military targets. It has taken decades to understand that they were the fortunate few who survived a noble effort to keep America clean,. as their rate of return was grim. They kept Americas war effort noble by their manifold deaths. I am proud to be an American once and for ever because of their unesessary sacrificees to rule in the dogs of war.
