That's an interesting idea.They don't properly teach American history since many of the teachers unions are Commies. The first teachers unions in New York were created by Communists.

R.I.P. Nick. You were a shining example of how your generation came to be known as the "Greatest Generation". I feel lucky to have been raised mostly by members of that generation. My father would have soon been 96 and so many of my uncles and aunts, school teachers, scoutmasters, etc. were of that era. It was an honor to have known so many of them.

I've known a few,mostly within my own family. My grandmother,who is Uncle Nicks sister,also served during WWII as an officer in the Navy Waves. We'll be celebrating her 99TH Birthday in June. Thanks for your comments sir.

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.

Thanks again Surefire.
My grandad was also one of those men.Unfortunately he died when I was a kid and I didn't get to know him.
He also served in the Navy on board submarines.He met my grandma in a hospital where she tended his injuries after being wounded in combat.My dad still has his purple heart medal.

Thanks for posting.
Uncle Nick was man who not only served his nation at a time of dire need but he also lived the American dream.
