FYI, I grew up in Yountville California, a little place nine miles north of Napa.

Working in the families business (a restaurant), our mainstay customers were from the local Veteran's Hospital in our town. I grew up hearing the stories of W.W.II Veterans. Some were great some no so great. I knew a Soldier from the Flag Raising moment at Iwogima (Spell ??)

The point that I am making is that I do not take likely the great sacrifice in W.W.II. As Churchill said, "never have so many, so much to owe, to so few" or something close to this. I know he was talking about the air battle over Brittian, but I fine this true with everyone involved with W.W.II.
Again my point is (as a fellow Veteran of Foreign Wars, VFW), I have great respect for anyone in any army who is willing to stand up for something they believe in and to use their life if necessary.

This is like policemen now-days, another example of great people willing to sacrifice. We sure need people with convictions like these people I've mentioned
