Thanks, Allen, for the post...and for your service (and sacrifice in doing so). Bless all who served and are serving.

Allen, my Dad was a WWII vet. He was a Norden Bomb Sight Specialist. He chested Rommel across north Africa and was severely wounded in a night raid by the Germans on the island or Corsica. Spent 18 months in VA hospitals and countless operations before being released. Was considered 75% disabled by his military pension, but you would have never known that. Was a successful business man and rarely spoke of his WW II service. Truly of our greatest generation. He passed at 90 years old.
