As these true heroes cross the bar, my sense of loss for our nation gets worse.

I hate liberals. Liberalism is a disease that causes severe brain damage after it tries to suck knowledge and history out of yours.

Few if any WWII Vet's left, these frail husks give way at some point...Korea Vet's not far behind...soon the Vietnam Vet's and all of our generation will muster out.
Here's to a joyous reunion in a better place.
