I was honored today

Way to go, Ron. Yes, we are indeed losing our "greatest generation" at an alarming rate. I hope we are all remembering to say thanks for their service to our country when we encounter not only a WWII vet, but any veteran or service member of our great armed forces!

Just yesterday, I saw a vehicle at the Post Office with a Vietnam Campaign Ribbon sticker on it. The Vietnam Vet was just about to get in when I called out to him from my car and thanked him for his service. He got the biggest smile on his face and thanked me for remembering. I'm sure it made his day, but it made mine also.
