Enjoyed that. Thanks. I always try to chat w/WWII vets. You never know when your last chance will be.
This is so true. I was at a Veterans Day celebration at my church and they went war by war and had veterans stand up. From Afghanistan and Iraq to WW1 we stood up. There was quite a few of us from Vietnam and less for Korea. Then the WW2 guys came around and there was one. These Vets are almost gone. If you have the opportunity visit one these vets before there gone.
A large part of our present fiscal difficulties stem from fighting wars on the credit card without making the necessary sacrifices...
Every year on a Sunday on or near Veterans Day our church recognizes its veterans by asking them to stand as their armed forces' branch song is played. Each year the number standing grows smaller.
Or, purchase war bonds to support the effort. I’m watching Ken Burns’ “The War” right now. Of all the WW2 documentaries I’ve watched this one spent the most time discussing this. $186 billion sold in war bonds. Can you imagine of this were tried today? There would be no support. Fun fact a $1 war bond is worth $11 today.
I honestly do not recall hearing that; however, my two daughters must have heard it. :wink:
