Colin, thank you SO much for starting this tribute. I am so saddened by this news. Colin and I both had the pleasure of meeting Ira and his brother and their family.
Margi is a good friend to both of us and I know she and her family are taking this very hard today. My heart goes out to everyone.
One photo is of Margi and her dad. One with all the vets who attended in 2012 and the other of Margi, her dad and his brother, also a WWII veteran.

Some other great photos...
And of course, my favorite photo, for I am sitting on Ira's lap in this great group shot. This one adorns the wall of my office.
