Wow. Didn't realize he was the last. The greatest generation is just about gone.

Wonder what he would have to say about the mf *** hole shooting innocent people at a 4th of July parade today?!?
Thank you for your service and may God bless you and all of family!

Hopefully he was like my 87 year old mother and completely tuned out to news. My 86 yo aunt on the other hand sits in front of FNC and worries herself to death.

1100 WWII veterans die every day. If you run across one you need to shake his or her hand and thank him. If you have little kids and if the veteran agree take a photo of you kid with one of them. That child will appreciate it one day. I met WWI Vets when I was little. At that time there was probably some Spanish American war Vets still alive. Those WWII people save this world and everyone of us owes them a lot.
