1. Its a shame that great men like this have been replaced with scum like our current congressmen. While this man fought and asked for nothing, current congressmen cannot even read a bill before passing it and use the public funds buy votes. Shameful.

3. A beautiful little story. Thank you for relaying it. I couldn’t help but tear up. How far we’ve come since the days of decent men like that.

4. I’ve flown in that B 24. I took my son in the B 17 the same folks have for his birthday. It is quite an experience. My cousin, who was a bombardier in a B 17 for 50 missions, died before I had a chance to ask him if he would like to do the same. That was such a wonderful moment. He didn’t say if they flew in it. It is wide open with big ports for the waist gunners. Flying in it gives you a feeling of what it must have been like. My brothers in law flew F 4s and F 18s. Totally different technology.

6. I had to leave my thanks here because there are no comments on the site you linked to. But it is a very moving story and because of his dad, and other dads like him, we have what we have now.

8. We all know a few people like this, don’t we? They are vanishing. What they fought for was a free America. Obama is truly betraying that tradition, and the ‘give me more’ voters of his are beneath contempt.

9. Thankyou, Jack. I thought of my father and shed some tears. Those men are a tough act to follow.

10. A wonderful tribute. The dust in the air … there are so many of them to thank, and when you try, they shrug, as if they’ve done nothing, and point to others, when they’ve given us the world.

13. This is one of the finest tributes from a man to his father, and a heartfelt tribute to America’s Greatest Generation. Their sacrifice gave us the freedom which all of us enjoy today and, unfortunately, so many take for granted.

    Juan #8. Cheer up. The good men from the WWII era are vanishing but there are many others to take their place.
