Now there was a completely pointless war, unless you are a fan of Democratic world-saving. Oh, I forgot- the German Huns were eating Belgian babies and we had to stop them. And there were too many Beethoven concerts in the US and the beer was inappropriately strong.
Ok that's just plain funny.

Great care. It got lower — zero.
Thanks for posting this. We need to remember the veterans.
RIP.
The final passing of these WW1 veterans is a meaningfull milestone in life. It was about 1960 or so, when the last surviving veteran of the War Between the States (Civil War)checked out. WW1 Vets were granddaddies and WW2 & Korean vets were just Dads. My generation went to Viet Nam. Now we’re the Granddaddys or soon will be.
May God give comfort as they cross the bar.
