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

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.    ::grouphug::
