[Captain Peter Blood]

My friend was a great guy and like most W.W.II I have met unassuming. He had a lot of good qualities that will be missed by family and friends. So please say a little prayer for J.D. and his family. This is the kind of person who helped keep our coountry great and Free.

May God Bless Our WW2 Vets!

I work at a VA Medical Center. We are losing this generation of soldiers quickly.

I wish I had appreciated what what they did earlier in my life. I grew up in the 1970’s and was, frankly, sick of hearing about “the war.” I didn’t “get it” until I came to the VA.

Those folks saved the world.

Rest in Peace J.D.

Thank you for your service J.D. and may you rest in peace.

The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum is something you don’t want to miss if you’re ever near Savannah Georgia.

Thanks for sharing JD’s story. It is hard to imagine that not so many years ago this country was populated by men like him. Hopefully, a new generation will emerge with the same qualities of character as those who endured the Great Depression and WWII. We have good men (and women) of all generations, but we need to have them in the majority, not minority.

The Greatest Generation?

Hm? These are the people who gave us:

** FOUR** terms of FDR and his New Deal
** The U.N.
** Johnson's Great Society
** Our modern government school monstrosity
** A few thousand social programs and offices

( Just to name a few)

Great! Yeah, just great! ( sarc.)

God bless your friend. We are losing them quickly. My Dad was a ball-turret gunner on The Silver Queen B24.
