I Said it before but worth repeating in this thread, in my lifetime I witnessed the passing of the last Spanish American war vet, the last WW1 vet and questionable activities aside I'll be around for the last WW2 vet, Korean war vet and if I'm super careful the last Vietnam war vet. A much wiser person than me once compared growing old to waves approaching shore when it finally hits shore that gen or person is no longer with us. my wave and most in my generations waves still moving albeit every year closer far from shore.
