I was just surfing the net for something to occupy my time. I came across numerous articles about the last WW1 veterans. Apparently, there are less then 10 left in the world. This got me to thinking about WW2 veterans. They are all over 80 years old. Their numbers are fading fast. Next time you see one, thank them for their service. There are many reasons they are called the greatest generation, including: Saving the world from Fascism, rebuilding the free world after the war, at the same time building the U.S. into a military and economic superpower, their generation created computers, the highway system, and much, much more. Get their stories now and enjoy your time with them.
And don't forget the Korean War, Vietnam, and Gulf War vets either. So, next time you are out shooting your guns, thank a veteran.
