Good to see he is still with us.
What a dashing and inspiring figure he was in his day!
God bless you Mr. Blair, for your successful fight against the Axis and for your continued longevity!

I’m a lot younger than that and I agree that he still looks good, age considered.

God Bless him, and all who fought for the freedoms we will likely have to fight for again and again.

"He cant be British - look at his teeth." Perhaps he was accidentally exposed to good dental care during his stint in North Africa...

God bless Mr. Blair and all of the brave people who served.
He IS a handsome man, even today. I think the photographer did a cr@ppy job on purpose.

Yes, the hero’s are still with us but they get fewer by the day. I visted my 87 year old cousin on Saturday. He’s was a machine gunner with the 79th infantry division in WII.
