    My grandfather would have been 94 this year (died in Feb. 1997). He was a jungle fighter and fought many of the islands of the Pacific. These ole guys are going fast. I believe the very last WWONE soldier died a couple months ago. I miss him but I'm glad my grandfather died before seeing the evil currently occupying OUR White House. I am glad that the WWII guys got to show B.O. who is boss when they went to D.C. That was priceless!!! and almost as good as when the cops turned their backs on another SOB! HA!!!!
