Hear Hear, Carl (or is it here, here?)

My sentiments exactly. I thank you for this posting. Although the passing away of these men can be expected, it always saddens me.

Last week I visited a Dutch veteran. He was in the army in May 1940, shooting artillery pieces that should have been fased out in 1918! Three guns blew up with the first round. His unit retreated thru Belgium an d France to the UK. In August 1944 he came back to liberate Europe.

What I want to say is; I am just glad I 'found'him in time. He is really appreciative of my/our interest and has a lot of interesting stories. And he loaded me up with books and videos to read and watch!

Soz if this is maybe off topic....

Again, I appreciate the post, Carl....
