Met a WWII Fighter Pilot tonight ***UPDATE

I know what you mean. 20 years ago I had the good fortune to meet and get to know some WW2 vets. A "grunt" ( his words) in Patton's 3rd Army, a B-26 (Martin) pilot, a B-17 pilot, and a SBD pilot.

Their unassuming and humble attitude regarding their service truly moved me. I have stared death in the face at work on a few occasions but never stared death in the face when that face was behind a gun pointing at ME.

God Bless them all; past, present, and future.
