Alan B – World War I veteran. I didn’t know there were still some out there. God bless them.

Admiral – Thank you, sir!

Yesterday Britain lost one of the remaining 4 veterans from the First Worrld War, aged 108. One has moved to Australia, the other three laid wreaths from their wheelchairs on Remembrance Day.

For the rest who died:
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Deanna – They’re spending some much-deserved time with the Lord now.

Rick – Agreed.

Old NFO – It’s a travesty. PA native Dick Winters – of Band of Brothers fame – is one of my personal heroes. I cannot imagine how I’ll feel when he passes on. Same with Philly native Bill Guarnere. These folks should be on television every day, with interviews highlighting their honor and service.

Between 1200-1700 a day average now… Not many are left, and most people don’t seem to care.

We owe these brave people more than we could ever repay.
