Thread: Pearl Harbor

Yah, We recently lost a family freind who was a Battle of the Bulge POW. An Uncle who was a battle of Leti Gulf Navy vet and a neighbor who was a D Day + Battles of France + Berlin Vet. I Cannot think of anymore WWII vet freinds left + All I have left is one uncle that was a WWII vet, The rest are gone. Growing up I remember most of my neighborhood and all of our uncles and family freinds were WWII vets and a few older WWI vets. I had a great uncle who was a Spanish American war Vet. Gone now are the Amer Legion/VFW parades. Both places were full every night and weekends. Both a bands and auxilary's for the kids and woman. Not anymore. At most have maybe 3-8 cars at the busiest. No bands anymore and I heard that one Amer legion was closed w a VFW on the way to it as well. Both play hell getting enough vets for the Honor Gaurd squads. Sad but inevitable end to a life + lifestyle of heroes.
