I don't think we will ever get to see guys like that again Bill. Like my grandparents- those from the greatest generation are now all gone. Will we ever be like that again?
Kind, couragous, and tough... they took care of us and America.
They say you are very lucky to have one or two friends, real friends in life. You it appears have been one of the lucky ones to have known such a man that called you a friend.!

It will be up to us to pass on what we learned from the generation Bill belonged to.That generation spawned a bunch of "regular guys" with high values ..
NV,
Great story.
I think you hit it on the head with the idea that these kinds of folks teach us to be better people.
I had a feeling about that when my Mom passed on. I know now that if it weren't for her, my own kids wouldn't be the people they are today.
So, I don't have to tell you that what we do does make a big difference. Nice that you got to share that and thanks for sharing with us.
