Default Wwii veterans

Hi Guys

Trust me you are going to like this one of WWII. At the time, one had to be 17 to enlist in the military. While it is well known that people younger than 17 served in WWII (& other wars),we'll use 17 as a base... The war ended in 1945 & this is 2016. That means the youngest surviving WWII veteran is 88. Keep that in mind when you watch the video. Quite a few do not look their age. Something I'm sure you'll enjoy. Gary Sinise proudly walks in the footsteps of Bob Hope.

Saw a statistic recently that we had approximately 16.1 million in uniform during WWII and there are not many still alive and are dying at a rate of 390 per day. No wonder they were called our greatest generation.

Cheers

Tony
