Aye.
I met someone similar a few weeks ago over at Iggys, nice old gentleman, Navy. When he understood I knew a little history he opened up a bit more. He was on the ships in the Pacific, his ship was hit. Wanted nothing than to honor those that didn't make it.
These "kids" coming back from Iraq & Afghanistan are going to be a another great generation. They will do better with yet another mess left to them from those that are the generation before, cleaning up the mess of the Boomers.
