Thanks. My father and grand father both served in the Pacific in WWII. Both were great men and unfortunately both gone. I miss them both and wish I had spent more quality time with them. But most of all, one of my wishes has always been for people to have more than a superficial understanding of the significance of this "holiday". It's not about veterans, it's not about saving money at store sales, it's not BBQs over the weekend. And this is going to sound surprising to some, but this story with this fine man isn't even about this man. It's about all the people who didn't come home.
