I had a very dear friend who passed away earlier this year who had been a medic in Vietnam. He was very active with the local veteran's groups and often went into schools taking vets from WW-2 forward to talk with students. He used to tell me how little today's school students know about WW-2 and the sacrifices that were made by so many.
My late uncle,(died last month), did the same thing by going to his granchildrens school to give his account of WWII so they would know the sacrifices that were made. I am so thankful for his sacrifice as we would be speaking German today instead of English. A great man who was very humble and never talked about WWII,. I guess what he saw was too gruesome or he didn't want to relive his experiences.

GOD bless The Greatest generation for the sacrifices they made so we can enjoy freedom. The USA is the greatest country one could be in.
