Margy,
This is a great ideal, we have lost 6 WW11 veterans in our chapter of
Disabled Americans Veterans in the last year,very few left now.
I am the Auxiliary Commander at #90, one thing I know is they are proud men,
they love to tell of thier experences if you set and let them talk, I guess
i might have heard some a dozen times but listen like I havn't heard them
before.
I try to send them cards on Veterans days to, one lady told me she had to
print the cards out for her husband when I e-mailed them.
I have a flag pole in my yard, old glory waves there in honor of our men in
uniform.
Mary in Whitley Co.Ky

Some gave some,Some gave all !!!!
