Thank you rte for sharing your story.

It reminds us how lucky we are to be the beneficiaries of that generations sacrifices, and how strong their characters were.

My wife and I were just watching some WWII footage onTV last night and commented what a debt we owe to this greatest generation, and how sad it is how few of the youngest generation today do not realize this.

May he RIP for a job well done and with the gratitude of his nation.
