In Reply to: Met a vet tonight. posted by Ken See on Saturday, February 09, 2008 at 23:49:23 :
of the time I asked an older man about the leather coat he had on . On the back of the coat were little profiles of airplanes and then some croses ??? I asked the old man what they represented he began to tell me that he was in a B52 during WWII the airplanes on the back were enemy airplanes his unit shot down and the crosses were crew members lost on his B52 . To be honest with you I was shocked and my gut wrenched for the story this Vet told and I proudly shook his hand and thanked him for his effort and sacrifice he made for this country . As long as I live I will remember this old man his jacket and how proud he was to serve his country .
