Mike,

Thank your Dad for his service. I try to remind my students what was at stake during WWII by telling them that if we'd lost that war, I'd never be able to criticize people in government the way I'm able to under our system. I also have friends who have no aunts or uncles or cousins because they were exterminated by the ****s. We can all argue about whether we should have fought in Vietnam or invaded Iraq, but there can never be any doubt that we owe our freedom to those who sacrificed so much to preserve our way of life during WWII. And that is way that the men and women of Mike's dad's generation is entitled to be called the Greatest Generation.
