MG: I read the article. That's awesome! I can't really say what it is that draws me to these WWII stories and the men that served there, but I have always been in awe of them and the service they gave our country.
Much respect!
Thank you, my friend. That's one more thing we have in common.
Thanks for the link to the story, Matt. Also thank your Grandfather for me.
You're welcome Cornbread. I'll definitely pass your thanks onto my Grandpa next time I talk to him. I know he'll appreciate it very much, as do I. Thank you.
Long live the survivors of the Greatest Generation. Hooah!
My dad fought in WWII and I've had the honor to speak with many who also served during WWII and other subsequent wars. Highly encourage all that can to sit down and listen to their stories of strength and courage, simply amazing.
Amen brother!
