Those old fellas are disappearing like fried chicken at a buffet table. Good to see one that's still around.
Thank you for your service old timer. You have my respect and admiration.

Tell him another Vet who heard his story was glad to have heard it and that he has my eternal respect as a fellow soldier. There's a reason his is called "The Greatest Generation".

Tell him I said thank you! I'd like to be able to talk to him, there's not many like him around anymore.

Re: (non knife related) 99 year old neighbor
Add me to the list of those who appreciate and thank him!
I remember hearing my great uncles talk about the war (WWII) when I was a kid. Unspeakable what some of them went through. I was blessed to hear those stories.

Bless that man. He and others like him are a national treasure that we lose more of everyday. I hope someone has taken the time to write down his stories and experience. His sacrifices would serve today's young people well
