Been a long, long time since I heard their ^ names mentioned. But...this is just a reminder for US OLDER folks....our younger generations want to stay quiet, and not remind them...they will one day be old like us.
Thanks for the memories.
One World War II veteran dies every day, as does a Vietnam veteran.
Those who do not remember HISTORY...are going to prove how ignoring it...will be repeated for them too!
