'' The greatest generation ''

Put to rest today a good friend's father that served in the 104th during the battle of the bulge.Not many of these remain.Not to diminish anyone's service , but what a great ''generation ''. He was ninety four and lived to see the fruits of his sacrifice.A lot of his buddy's never came home.The minister that conducted the service through a little research found out that his grandfather served in the same 104th at the same time.He told us of a conversation he had with his grandfather when he would badger his grandfather for ''what happened over there''. The answer was simple. ''The ones that were NOT there ask questions. The one's that WERE there don't respond to questions.'' Thank God for the vet's so we can fish.
