You grew up during the Great Depression, some served here at home, in an unprecedented period of productivity, and some went on to fight in World War II.

You have been referred to as "the greatest generation any society has ever produced."

You did not fight for fame or recognition, but because it was the right thing to do.

Not many of you are left, but to those that remain with us, and to those that have gone, we honor you in remembrance and thanks!

My Father is still with us (pretty darn good health too) and as described above. I had the pleasure of honoring him at an awards banquet while I was the outgoing president of that organization. Brought a tear to my eyes speaking of his service to this country as a Navy WWII vet. Funny that he would have a son born on a day to remember his service duty. My brother was born on December 7th, 1958.

Thank you for helping me to remember.

God bless America, and please guys when you see a soldier thank him or her for there service. I do and you want believe the smile they give back, its worth a thousand words.
