I gotta chime in on this post.....This past September I was a volunteer with an organization called American Warrior.We took 100 WW2 Vets to Washington DC to the WW2,Navy,Marine,and Air Force Memorials.Back and forth in a day!!It was the most emotional experience of my life.
Listening to guys who spoke of thier experiences,I was in awe of thier courage.They tell thier stories like we talk about doing our daily jobs....They don't deny they were afraid.They just did not have the time for fear.
I came away with so many thoughts,going on that trip with them.The one thought that still sticks in my mind is what were the qualities that so clearly set these men and woman apart from any other generation of Americans.Yeah...we cannot hold a candle to this group.
As the WW2 generation fades away,I cannot reccomend enough,that if you EVER feel the desire to volunteer for the kind of trip I took with these men,DO IT SOON!
