He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage and an honor to have been in his presence. Remember, OLD men like him gave you FREEDOM for America . Thanks to those who served...& those who supported them. [/SIZE]

Good story...Strikes true because a lot of people now days not only don't have respect for older people, but also the vets that fought(and some died) so that we can be here today...I'm greatful everyday that we have so many fighting for us over there and here at home...I live close to Fort Polk and just want to shake every hand of every military person I see and tell them "Thank you"...No telling where we would be without them...
