I'm always taken aback and impressed when I see examples and hear stories of men of honor who did their duty no matter what and had a bottomless sense of loyalty to their country. It's an impressive and uplifting thing to see. They don't call it "The Greatest Generation" for nothing.
I sure hope they can come up with the money to put up a statue. It's critical that we stop from time to time to remind ourselves what men and women with true grit did for us a long time ago and that we don't take anything for granted.
Very well said, Lothair.........
