This day passed with little notice.............In World War 2 aprox. 16 million served...500,000 of those gave the ultimate sacrifice. American graves are scattered throughout the face of the earth. There are aprox. 1 and a half million of us left..At the death rate it will be a very short time until only a memory remains ...............''no sound save for the rush of the river, while soft falls the dew on the face of the dead....the Greatest Generation is off duty forever''.....

A tender sentiment. I was not a member but knew many of the greatest generation and a time when the country was united. Tip of the hat to oldtimer.
