<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1716785, member: 44132&quot;]Steve, you should be proud.&nbsp; That generation, what we refer to as the &quot;greatest generation&quot;, was totally awesome, heroic and loyal.&nbsp; When their country called, there was no question or whining.&nbsp; I&#039;m proud of my father who was by no means a young man during the war.&nbsp; My father was born in 1908.&nbsp; At the start of the war he was turned down for service because of his age.&nbsp; But by 1943, his age&nbsp; was not a problem and he enlisted in the US Army.&nbsp; He was a member of a Tanker crew.&nbsp; You know, those large metal coffins that moved.&nbsp; He had some stories that could keep a person enthralled for hours.&nbsp; Wounded once, but returned to duty, he finished out the war and then spend a year as part of the occupation army in both Vienna and Berlin.&nbsp; I salute all veterans, but especially those of the WWII era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
