    I don't get to post much these days but I think this one deserves another round.

    I agree. That's moving to the point of tears. Every chance I get to talk to a WWII vet I do. None I've ever talked to profess to be heroes--only doing their jobs.

    vet, sorry to hear about your uncle. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

    God bless them all. My late Dad was among them, in the European Theater. My wife and I attended the dedication of the WWII Memorial in Washington in 2004, over Memorial Day weekend. I personally thanked every blessed veteran I met that weekend. We can't thank them enough.

    The greatest generation? It's no contest.

    Great and so true. I don't know if this country has the wear with all to be able to do what they did at this point in history which is a shame and is scary as well. My grandfather was never in uniform but did work on the manhatten project. I see him on TV every once in a while when there is a show about it.

    Re: Tribute to WWII Vets! "Before you go"

    My dad made 3 beach landings. North Africa, Sicily and Italy. Marched up the boot of Italy through places like Anzio and Monte Casino. A 23 year old M.D. at the time. I never recall him talking about it as anything but a part of his early life.

    A couple of years ago when I got around to asking for what he was awarded the Silver Star, he just shrugged and said, I guess I did my job well.

    That to me sums up the veterans of that war. "We just did our job."

    Re: Tribute to WWII Vets! "Before you go"

    my great uncle was an artilleryman during the battle of the bulge. i need to sit down with him before is time is up. my dad has mentoned that uncle mart was affected by it and never has said much. maybe he'll open up a little.
    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    Re: Tribute to WWII Vets! "Before you go"

    i HAD TO DO A REPORT in college and interviewed two guys from my church. One a dive bomber pilot in the pacific (shot down 5 times), the other a B-17 navigator Shot down and captured by the germans a couple of months before the end of the war. Once I got them alone, they opened up a little but never in a bragidocious way. Heros they are.
