New Guy

[Walt's Daughter]

I got to spend a good bit of time talking to the operator of the cemetery Hans Hooker. What a great guy and loves his job. He told us how disappointed he is with some of the military personnel in the area. He expressed that as a military person stationed in the area you should go visit these sites to pay respects to the men who made it possible for us to be there today.

 

Not uncommon and that is sad. I was talking with a young man who is currently in the military. We were discussing places like Anzio, etc. He had never even heard of them. Then we were talking about Band of Brothers, which he had recently seen, but until he had watched it, never heard of many of the main battles of WWII including the Battle of the Bulge. Now don't you think that's pathetic? I think that should be included in your military training. A BIT of history of the battles that made us who we are. Sorry, but that just blows my mind.
