You're blessed to still have him with you. We owe that generation so much. I hate to see them leave us. I took my granddaughter to meet a 92 year old WWII veteran. He flew fighter planes off the U.S.S. Yorktown II. To say she was impressed is an understatement. I wanted her to meet a real hero. IMO everyone of those brave men (and women) who fought in any war (especially WWII) is a hero. I met one of those WWII heroes at Luby's the other day. Along with his Viet Nam Vet Son. Couldn't help myself.....I paid for their meal, and was honored to do so. Wasn't much, but I wanted them to know how much I appreciated their sacrifice.
