I recently had the opportunity to visit with several WWII vets at a Marine reunion. They all are just great, quiet hero types. One of the guys there was in the Navy in WWII and is a Pearl Harbor survivor. One still does pushups, and is in really good health. Another had a huge chunk of flesh out of his back (a combat injury). Though he is 80 now, he referred with a twinkle in his eye to the present guys over there, saying, "It is amazing what 17 and 18 year old guys can do!" Prayers and love to all you Over There!!

YIKES! Almost life-sized, too! I'll have the banana split - PART of it anyway!
And then later I'll have the apple pie ala mode.
