I once met a Gentleman Soldier from the UK who told me,

"When I was a little lad, my grandma, who was born in 1890, took hold of my hand one day and said, 'This hand held the hand of an old, old man who was a drummer boy at The battle of Waterloo, and THIS cheek was kissed by a soldier who had stormed the Heights of Alma in the Crimean War."

It's simply amazing the people that you meet going through life.

My great grandmother was very proud of the fact that she remembered seeing the top of Abe Lincoln's stove pipe hat, as he walked through a crowd, when she was a little girl.
