Better safe than sorry!
It's still unbelievable, but great to see, that one of America's finest is still so healthy and willing to share his experiences with the younger generations. If you've served in WWII, and for us Europeans that would mean Omaha Beach, Normandy, Market Garden, the Bulge or any other important battlefield, well, then to us you're nothing less than a living monument. Every one of you deserves eternal gratitude for your courage, persistence and bravery.
