As a Vet, thanks. As the son of a WW2 Vet, thanks. My dad, 93 years old, will be honored at half-time, at an NBA game, tonight. He flew 35 bomber missions, received 2 Purple Hearts, (the 3rd was earned, but they sent him stateside before they could give it to him).
We're quickly losing the few remaining WW2 Vets that are still living, and should be very thankful for their, and their fellow servicemenbers contributions to our freedom and liberty.
