Time marches on. Most of them are in their 80's - 90's.

If you know one, talk to him.

Mine too. He is 95 years old, and served for 22 months from 1943 through 1944 on the Carrier USS Enterprise.

I still get all watery eyed thinking about how there are no civil war vets walking around. Don't get me started on the American Revolution.

Seriously, what in the frick are you talking about? Time passes. People die.

Take it easy man. I'm just having a rough night. Can't stop thinking about the Mesopotamians. Just too soon.

Oh Furtuna! Time is a cruel bitch!

Hopefully you'll die soon and we can make fun of you and your survivors, worthless as they are.

My grandfather - USMC - died in 1998. He fought the Japs at Peleliu. His brother, Robert, was KIA in France, he was 20 years old.

These men's turds contained more excellence and virtue than every bone in your body, you twinkle-toed cocksucker.
