That is GREAT.

No better person to do the tribute.

Thank God for all those brave young men all those many years ago that changed the world back into a place fit to live.

Amazing, I wonder how they found the photo?
Maybe the local newspaper ran the story years ago

My Grandfather survived the battle damage of 2 ships in WWII, the USS Hilo and the USS Orestes, by going over the side. He said going in the water the second time was the hardest thing he ever did. It's something I've never had to do and never want to.

Those were hard and bloody times. We owe a debt to those that went on the front lines.

it is called Americas greatest generation
now their children (me included) have turned into one of the worst. What happened

May we all thank God for those who serve out front and those at home who support them. What a great story and tribute.
