Veterans can be sooo cool

Thanks for your story Rani, also the pics of the planes!!

Just something to share. Was recently on a business trip. Eating my dinner at some large chain restaurant. An old couple walked it. She looked in her late 70's early 80's. The gentlemen looked over 90, all stooped over with a walker. He was a little chili after sitting down. So he told his wife he was going to get his jacket in the car. It must have taking him 10 minutes to do so. She was very wary of him, watching to see if he was OK. I said that my mom is pretty frail like that and I do the same. I was getting ready to leave and said something to them. The gentlemen asked me if I was from around here and we started a conversation and it progressed. He said he was a pilot in the 8th Air Force flying bomb runs in Germany. I asked him "Forts or Libs". He said yeah, Liberators, "B24's". I looked at his wife briefly and she looked at me and smiled like "now you did it". We talked for another 10 minutes and then I shook his hand. His grip still like a pro athlete of 20. Thank God for these people.
