So many times I won't realize what an older gentleman went through in his younger days till I read about him in the obituaries. A majority of the men who are in their upper eighties and nineties served in the battlefields of WW2 and/or Korea but they never talked about it. After hearing some of their stories I understand why. In the later years of their lives, when they realize they're on the downhill slope they sometimes want to let the world know they were once strong and able and were contributing to mankind.Now I feel I owe it to them to sit and listen to their stories.
When they got out of the service they didn't sit and wait for a handout. They went out and contributed to this nation's workforce instead of sitting around and waiting for the nation to hand them a check. They are the reason we are a free country.
I am in no way diminishing the young men and women who were in Viet Nam or any conflict since then. In fact I feel the US has abandoned them in some ways. They too will be old someday and will have their stories to tell. I hope when that time comes the young generation will take the time to sit and listen to and THANK them too. Jim
