In honor of our Veterans

Nice shots of the memorials Jen. Looks like nice weather for walking around and seeing the sights.

These two gentlemen were honored at the Army-Air Force games last week. They are both vets of the Battle of the Bulge! That was 1944 so these guys must be up there and must have been really young at the time.

Yep, as Tom Brokaw has often pointed out, that "greatest generation" is shrinking in numbers swiftly as they have reached the end of the normal human lifespan.

Brokaw said, "They didn't whine, they didn't wimper, they did what had to get done."

Nowadays, many of us get flustered if we lose cable TV during a lightning storm, or the supermarket doesn't have our favorite snack.

True, but they were the parents of the spoiled whiners!

That's true, Victor.....funny isn't it? Jen, thanks for the great photos.....it looked like a great trip!

Hubby had to correct me... his uncle was a POW in WWII captured by the Japanese then released but also was a fighter pilot in Korea.

Wow - double duty.

Yeah guess being a fighter pilot is more exciting than being on the ground. I'll post a pic of him later...he looks EXACTLY like Lou Costello

Funny!

Here's the Costello look alike

Here's his other uncle

and his uncle receiving the flying cross

Quite a family!

Does look like him!

Isn't that funny?!

Hi Sargent! Happy Thansgiving!
