Thanks for the info there TRK,seems like you knew many different vets growing up.I only know one actually,well he wasnt in any wars but he served with the canadian military for 35yrs,retiring a Cheif Warrent officer.
Im ashtonished at the RATE that veterans are passing each week,everyday i read the paper and it never fails,locally their is always at least 1 or more veterans in the obituary section which is a sad thing.
I found this site one time that told all of these great vet stories,i beleve they were all about how these soldiers and officers in the germany military in the second world war recieved their decorations for heroism etc.Ill try to dig it up.
Were you in the armed forced by any chance TRK?i had some thoughts about joining the Navy last summer but decided to go to collegeand take power engineering instead....although i do have some friends in the military,and then some that plan on going.
