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.

You are so right.....they were the greatest generation of all.
On this most recent Pearl Harbor Day anniversary, we remembered all who had sacrificed so much for the rest of us..........
We had several uncles who came back after serving in the Navy, the Army, etc. plus second cousins, etc., etc. Funny, they rarely talked of their war experiences........just went on with life.
One cousin is still alive but tells me that with each memorium he goes to, he notices fewer and fewer of the WWII vets left among the living.
