Jim. I loved your story and admire you for taking the time to recognize the old man for his service. It may not be genealogy, but that is a part of our history--all of us. The ones who have gone before us have shaped where we are now. We should all be thankful every day for the people like that man who gave so much for future generations. They have been there in every war and many have died. We should saute them every day. Thank you for reminding us. Doris

Today I was told the name of the old soldier. I looked on Yahoo people search, and there he is. I just erased the message I was about to send with his name. I decided to think it over first, it may not be appropriate do so. Beside, there are thousands out there similar to him and he may not want to be singled out. I just suggest the next time you see a WW II veteran, at least shake his hand and tell him thanks. I really made my day. This goes for all that have served at anytime and any capacity.
