Everyone here knows what today is. In celebration, The Military Channel is doing pieces on each generations war. A return to Iwo, Korea and Vietnam are scheduled.
I was watching the Iwo Jima program and was touched by the conversation between a young Marine and an Iwo vet.
The Marine was pointing out an LST on the beach below the cliffs.
"That's our LST we came in on it yesterday"
The old Marine replied, "I know...I came in on one too."
Talk about being a master of the understatement.
Guys, you need to watch it and listen to the greatest Vets...There are less of them everyday. The time will come when they are not here to tell their tales...and the world will be a lesser place when they are gone.
Happen Veterans Day, Guys. There are less of us everyday too.
