Yes, and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did.

 

You are absolutely right about the vets and their families. It's like a "given"; they share so much and help so many and are so grateful in return.

 

I've said this before on my site, but will repeat it again because it's so true; this has been the best thing that I've ever done in my life. It has been the most rewarding experience. I've not only gained a vast knowledge of my dad, his unit, WWII and history, but made so many good friends that I know I will have for life, and I've been touched by mounds of kindness and generosity. When a very few ask, "Why do you hang around with a bunch of old WWII vets?", they can't even begin to understand how all this have touched my life and changed me for the better. Dang, there I go getting all teary-eyed again...
