Thank you, and thanks to your father and brothers.

I liked the Lake St.Clair picture.

There are not too many Vets from WWII still alive. All WWII Vets in my
family, including my father, have passed away.

family, including my father, have passed away.

Even those that served in the last year of the war would be close to 80 now.

I had three in my family......my dad was in Australia and New Guinea in the
early years of the war (was attached to a medical group.....a forerunner of
the MASH units) even though he had no previous medical training.....he had
lots of stories........ One uncle was a B-24 pilot in Europe, he flew 2
missions on D-Day and a full rotation My other uncle was 100% blind in one
eye (childhood accident) and was still drafted.......he ended up riding a
motorcycle in Kansas guardomg german POWs.

=================================
The Detroit Free Press estimated the following surviving veterans:
..
WW I -- Less than 50
..
WW II -- 3.5 million
..
Korea -- 3.2 million
..
Vietnam -- 8 million
..
I was surprised to see that we Korean vets come close to the WWII vets
because the wars were only 5 years apart.
