Today we buried one of the greatest generation.

Mr. Lewis was in the 3rd troop transport that landed on Omaha beach. He was the only person in his unit to make it off the beach alive. All that rest were mortally wounded and or died later from their wounds. He was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, He returned to the battlefield and helped take Germany. He won two purple hearts, Silver Star and two Bronze Stars.

He returned from the war and married his high school sweetheart. Was a school teacher for 35 years. Played the trombone. In his late 70's, both him and him wife would got the ocean and swim a 1/2 mile a day, every day.

He was known as Mr. Lewis to everyone not because he was a war hero who saved many American lives but how he conducted his life when he returned from war.

Meh, he was the tool of a bomb dropping, warmongering nation... only man left alive? Maybe he shouldn't have been fighting in the first place...

Either way, our people shouldn't have to honor what he and his men did, its in the past... just let it die already.

He gave of himself selflessly and proudly so you would be able to freely say what you just said. Regardless of personal opinion it's not something I believe I have in myself to do, do you or have you?

I was outside making a phone call. This guy was out smoking and shaking all over. Didn't know the guy other than seeing him in the halls etc. Asked if he was okay, need some help and he looked at me and he had these eyes that don't belong in an office sitting, and said "I saw a guy that looked like my best friend who died in my arms over in the sandbox...........sometimes that shit comes up and I cant stop it".

He's heading to Iraq. They are in the middle of a civil war. You can get it from all sides.

Well its certainly never "good to go" in that country, but unless the news outlets are completely ignoring the situation (admittedly a distinct possibility)... its not nearly as bad as the true war years.

Ie; all of the logistics have long been in place to ensure the smooth arrival of whatever kind of contracting work his brother does... one of my closest cousins has spent 2+ years there as an airplane mechanic, and while he's in no hurry to go back he admits that they are catered to in every way possible.

Far more than our warriors, that's for sure.
