  2. Borepatch–thanks! Even if I never met him, he affected my life profoundly.Anon–Indeed. There are a lot of people who do not know of, or appreciate, the sacrifices that these men and their families made so they have the right to sit in a park and whine about life.But there are also a lot of folks who do know and remember and are fighting, each in their own way, to keep the flame alive. I'm blessed to know some of them. I'm also lucky enough to be the daughter, grand-daughter, great-grand-daughter, and great-great-grand-daughter of true Americans. There are probably more greats in there–we've been here a while. 🙂

  4. Thanks NFO–he was one of the greatest generation–unlike recent generations, he went to Canada to JOIN the war, not run from it.
