Nobody Remembers Anymore


I was in Kroger’s yesterday getting the fixin’s for some Monday Night Football ham & beans when I noticed an old man in his mid to late 80’s with one of those black baseball caps with the silhouette of a ship on it. As I got closer to him I could see the cap said USS Lexington.

I approached the man and asked him if he served on the Lexington and whether he was at the battle of Coral Sea. He said yes.

I shook his hand and said “Thank you and well doneâ€

Sad but true, so few people give any thought to those that have fought and died for our freedoms and to protect us from the evil out there.
They say that everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die to get there, yet these men and women stormed the gates of hell to protect their families and country facing death at any given moment.
These are true Americans. These are warriors who know what it's like to fight to the death for the right to live free!
May God bless them all!

Heard it said they were the greatest generation and from what I've read I believe that is true.
Yes, God bless them all!

My uncle (deceased) was in the Pacific. They saved the entire Western Hemisphere from invasion and enslavement.
