Dear Vets I can only say that here in my area a lot of people still remember what you did for us and so long we have people like the one on this board it will never be forgotten.Sure is that the teens from today are not so well informed about the WWII due to a lack of education in school and at home today.
I only wish there were more people in this country that remembered what the WWII generation did for us all. There are many who do, to be sure, but I think the government education system hasn't done an excellent job of instilling an appreciation for history. Perhaps they are too interested in standardized testing. Or perhaps with the proselytizing on "global climate change" there isn't much room left for readin', writin', and 'rithmatic (and history).
