      This generation will fade away, gone but throughout their 60 years living after the war is bonus for them to teach and pass their memory and memoirs about their sacrifices for freedom we enjoy today, grim reminder the past shouldn't happen again.

He told me something wasn't right. It was the wrong type of plane and it didn't in right place on the run way. So he went down to give the nurses there donuts & when the door opened up, It was the type that had steps on it . I don't remember the rank that started getting of but they were of upper rank .The last one to get off was Dwight D. Eisenhower He told me he salute him & I said, you dropped the donuts? He said look at how big these hands are. He told me that Eisenhower said " I wouldn't mind one of those donuts young man" I love talking to our Soldiers & the stories they Tell. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart & GOD Bless to you & your families.

    Michael Savage accused Clint Eastwood of having gone lefty for making Letters From Iwo, and I've never watched it. Now 2 genuine Marines say it's not only good, but excellent. Time to watch it.

    You should have showed them "Halls of Montezuma"
    Made in 1951 and starring the same servicemen who served alongside these guys...best war movie ever in my opinion.
