#1 Excellent post Fred. Thankfully, all of the good, brave men are yet not gone.

#2  I remember growing up in the 50's, virtually all the "men of the houses" were veterans, and we kids all knew it. My uncle told me about his seeing the first bomb drop on Wheeler Field, my dad about holding on to a palm tree during the storm surge of a 1945 Pacific typhoon. I was in awe of them. Dad stayed in the reserves & was called up again for a year in 1950. I was 3 and riding the train to the Norfolk Navy base with mother. She sat next to a sailor in uniform on his way to ship out. He asked (& was granted) to let me sit on his lap so he could remember his own 3 year old son he was leaving behind.

#3 Physical courage is not everything. Moral courage is in short supply nowadays.
