Veterans Day

I'd like to thank all those Americans who helped liberate Europe from the horrors of fascism. Without you good people Europe would be a Nazi concentration camp, or a Stalinist Gulag. I will never forget, and I put a flower at the "Unknown Soldier's" monument every year.
Thank you guys – I kiss you. 💋

They are going fast. We lost our last two WWII vets here this year. My Great Uncle was drafted in 1942, fought in Africa and Sicily and then landed at Normandy, fought in the battle of the bulge, crossed the Rhine with Patton and served in the occupying army in Germany. He married a gal that he met at a dance during bootcamp prior to going overseas and my Great Aunt moved nearly 1000 miles to live with my Great Grandparents who she had never met. He didn't come home until 1946. He is gone now, but was a quiet man who would very much appreciate your sentiment.

@goliathtree everyone needs to learn the history from 1920 through 1945. The rise of the Nazis from 1930-1940 is of particular interest, learning it will, hopefully prevent a recurrence.
