Please take the 7 minutes to watch this truly wonderful video.....If it doesn’t bring a mist to your eyes are a lump in your throat, I don’t know what would.....  If you’re not familiar with Gary Sinese, he played Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump.  He has done great things to honor our veterans.  A true patriot !!

 

 

"Where there is one brave man in the thickest of the fight, there is the Post of Honor" - Thoreau
"Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat"

 

That's not what the Greatest Generation was about. They volunteered and fought for their country. After the war, they came back to the U.S. to work and raise their families. We are the product of their bravery and commitment. If it weren't for them, we would be speaking another language. There will never be a braver nor more patriotic generation like them.

 

This short video is impactful, moving, and very impressive. Here is one Hollywood actor that is a good guy. These unequaled heroes are about to leave this planet. We must not forget what they bequeathed to us! You have to be 17 to enlist in the military. While it is well known that people younger than 17 served in WWII (& other wars) I am going to use 17 as a base. The war ended in 1945 & this is 2016. That means the YOUNGEST surviving WWII veteran is 88. Keep that in mind when you watch the video. Quite a few (in my opinion) do not look their age. Something I’m sure you’ll enjoy.  (have a hanky at the ready...)

Thanks for posting this, Fred. He certainly puts his money where his mouth is.

Yesm Lew, he does.  I really didn't know how MUCH he was involved until I did some research and found out - If I had his money, I'd burn mine  (big grin).

I had a hard time deciding which veterans charity I should donate to- It's always less than$35 per show, but at least it's something (and my customers can take the $5 off their income taxes.

Thanks again, lew
