Veterans can be sooo cool

Very cool. I used to occasionally run into WWII vets when I was doing HVAC service. Go into this high dollar apartment/ condo, and here sits a Corsair (F4-U) model. So I look at this guy, and estimate his age, and said "did you fly Corsairs?"

Yup He was a Marine Corsair pilot in the Pacific. He was surprised that "such a young guy" (probly 40 at the time) knew what a Corsair even WAS
