I thought it would be a good idea to start a link to list all the stories that we come up with every day where we bump into/interview World War Two vets in every day life.

I'll start it out. I've started a collection of autographs from 30 WWII vets so far but I won't go into all those, I'll jump to the most recent.

Of course this man was wearing his WWII vet hat. I walked up to him and asked where he was stationed and he responded Washington DC. This I needed to hear. We got to talking and it turns out he repaired telegraphs in an office in Washington. He was itching to go but the government said they needed him here so he stayed. In my opinion this man was just as much a part of the war effort as the front line soldiers just different. I thanked him at least 3 times, got his autograph and then left. I am hoping to write a book on WWII sometime in the far off future and dedicating it to these men. These guys are heroes to all of us and they deserve it!
