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.

Great story Rob! Enjoy the time with your dad.
As a vet who also has a dad and grandfather who served, it is indeed a special day. Unfortunately, my dad, who is also a WWII vet, is not doing so well. I will cherish our remaining time together!
