Just out of curiosity,has your Dad visited the WWII Memorial in DC yet? If not,does he have both the desire and the physical stamina to make the trip? I’ve been there and it’s a *very* moving experience.

Yes. My younger sister took him the dedication ceremony back in 2004, I believe.
At the event, they had a computer set up to do searches for friends and comrades. Nothing came up, except him, for his unit.
Today, he has no desire to travel anywhere. He is also a colon cancer survivor. Each morning, he just gets up early, puts his U.S. flag on the pole, salutes it, then drives to the end of his road to get his daily newspaper to do the crossword and drink his coffee. He lives on a beautiful fresh water lake in eastern Maine. His opinion of the country, world and politics today? Don’t even go there...LOL.
