The last WW1 Veteran.

I sent my last remaining uncle (he is 88) a huge card from a bunch of guys from the local VFW here in Fla and he is at his favorite local watering hole (VFW) in Indiana, doing what he enjoys most.... drinking his one beer and letting somebody else serve him.
He served as an intel officer in the Army Air Corp and spent about 30 years there. He was stationed all over including the India/ China/ Burma campaign, 4 years in Japan, Turkey, Alaska and 2 tours in the Pentagon.
To this day I always tell him.."At ease gentlemen, I'll be in the area for a while, the smoking lamp is lit and the beer is on me."
During WW11, if you had a family member serving, you displayed a banner with a blue star in your front window. My grandfather had 5 stars on his and all 5 of my uncles made it home!!
The banner is now on display at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Base in Dayton, Ohio.
I am and will always be proud of ALL people that serve and have served and thank each and every one for a job well done... no matter what or where their job or assignment was.
