Both my parents were veterans of WW II. Very few of that generation remain with us, and that war, the greatest one in history, is passing from living memory.
True. My own father was a WW2 veteran and so was nearly every father on my block growing up except for a few of the youngest dads who were veterans of Korea. Dad passed 30 years ago and he was an “old man” of 33 when he entered service in 1942. But even the teenaged soldiery of that era are now getting very thin on the ground.
A lot fewer fathers these days and a lot fewer of them are veterans.
