So sad but inevitable
I work in a Giant super market( Stop 'n Shop in Jersey) & always thank anyone wearing any evidence of military service. Always had too-short conversations with 4 WW11 vets. Boy did they have some facts, stories one never heard about nor admitted to by our gov't or military. Sadly, I haven't seen any of them for a few months. One told me less than 10% of vets remain. I'm afraid that percentage has decreased & in a too-short time, it will be 0%. Damn it, so many made the supreme sacrifice so that OLD GLORY still waves over this nation and the majority only know it as another 3 day weekend. It really pisses me off and at the same time greatly saddens me.
God bless all who have given their all and NEVER FORGET what they gave so that we still salute the STARS AND STRIPES...
