<p>We were privileged to be at the American Cemetery for the 50th Anniversary of D-day. Awesome spectacle. There were still many vets who were able to attend, and it was a very special ceremony. It is just too bad that there was not a similar celebration of honor and fortitude in the states. I read the poem to my husband and he really appreciated it, although it did set off a bit of a tirade about the value of politicians vs. veterans…</p>

<p>I remember walking out of the cemetery and having a vet thank my husband for his service. My husband was humbled and they entered into a mutual admiration society right there on the sidewalk. There is a undefinable link between those who serve. So, Z, thank you for your service, and for posting the poem in recognition of the Greatest Generation.</p>
