With the media focused on the oil fiasco in the Gulf, I wanted to focus today’s thoughts on the men and women who are protecting us from our enemies, David.
My father was overseas from 1941-45. I can’t imagine such a thing-being frightened for four years. My brother-in-law won the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts in Vietnam and died later as a result. War is hell.
My father served on a destroyer in the Pacific during WWII, Patti. His ship was struck by a kamikaze plane and he was injured. My Dad was awarded a Purple Heart.
My father was 17 when Pearl Harbor was hit and he had to get permission from his mother to enlist. He spent most of the next 4 years in England, working on keeping the planes flying.
Absolutely.

I admire the sacrifices the WWII generation made for the war effort, Jeff.
I served in Nam but didn’t have a bad time, luckily. I salute those who died.
I salute you and all those who served, Bob.
