'Twas a lot of Heroism goin' on on D-Day! It' sad to see so many of the "Geatest Generation" leaving us daily. We cannot replace them in the numbers we need.

I remember the quest of the 38 D-day veteran paratroopers to restage their jump for the 1994 50th anniversary.

The French went bonkers for them and they totally stole the thunder of the big 101st airborne event.

My uncle, who made was in the Seabees at Utah Beach, died just two weeks ago. Pretty soon there won't be many of these men left.

May G-d bless and keep these men.

Fortunately we do have young men and women today who will carry on the spirit of Messrs King and Horn, but they are a minority. The “greatest” generation gave way to the “me” generation that raised the ‘entitlement’ generation. Responsibility and sacrifice to and for a greater good than oneself seems something of a bygone era.

I am not sad that they are dying, so much as I am grateful that they lived.
