Thanks John for the reminder to all of us. Just returned home from a small local parade,where I was in the American Legion Color Guard. Immediately behind us was our trailer with WW2 vets, some in uniform. It is difficult to see them getting so old. We marched our Color Guard to the side of the trailer and gave them a present arms. To a man they all stood up , many with great difficulty, and saluted the flag. Many with tears running down their faces. A thing I won't soon forget. Bill
