Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 May God bless them all and keep them close in life and afterwards. On a related note, we're down to 9 USS Arizona survivors. Okay, officially ten, but one is really "in" on a technicality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afoxbat Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Too many Heros are leaving us too fast. And there's almost no one to replace them. They truly are the Greatest Generation. I salute you all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) A fact that I'm very much aware of, as I don't see as many as I once did, when I'm at the VA Hosp. Always the thought where would we be without them?. Someone had to step up and they did. :salute: Edited April 13, 2014 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Godspeed Gentleman. The greatest generation is fading into the sands of time. Sadly it'll be all too soon we will have no more living WW2 veterans left....and the world will be a lesser place because of it. Over the last 25 years I've gotten to know many veterans mainly 8th AF B-24 guys who have returned to the UK and lay a few ghosts to rest. Sadly most are now gone but it was a privilege to spend time with them. All I can say is if you know a military veteran thank them before its too late. WW2/Korea even Vietnam Vets are being lost everyday....we must remember them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richter111 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Not to hijack or otherwise poach on your post but I would like to add my grandfather John Stanley Recznik TBF crewmember in WWII, worked the Atlantic and Garland Smith USS Franklin crewmember. Both heroes and wonderful men, My grandfather Garland passed away in the 80's but my Grandfather Recznik is still alive. I just wanted them mentioned in this pantheon on heroes Thank you, from a grateful American and proud grandson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
