It has been close to 50 years...where have the years gone?
When I was stationed at Fort Campbell the Patton Museum had a Sergent Major that made jumps during WWII in charge. It had only been 20 years prior, and I thought he was old. (Of course to a 17 year old, anyone past 30 was “old”) I wish I would have spent more time talking to him.
I guess I am like those WWI veterans that made up the VFW when I got out. They are all gone now, and we, the Viet Nam era veterans are on our way out.
Bummer, now I really feel old.
I hear you my FRiend.
There are still a few WWII vets around, I know at least two, one is 85 and the other is 90. The 85 year old is a guy I see in the gym almost every time I go, he still works out regularly.
