Tears and love over this post. Thank you. Yes, they are our national treasures and we should bow our heads and pray for all the angels in Heaven to watch over them and lead them into the presence of God's divine Majesty. They deserve the best for they are our best.

We can only hope that somewhere new giants are being born.

Well God bless him.

I wish someday we'd properly thank and celebrate those folks. Looks like World War II was the last time the country gave their heroes the proper welcome home celebration they deserve.
