One other thing, if I may? For the last couple of years, I have been approaching people who have the WWII Veteran license plates and simply thanking them for fighting for my freedom. At first, I was reluctant for all of the reasons anyone would be. I'm in a hurry, or this person will think I'm a wacko, or what will I say, etc. None of that matters.

A couple weeks ago, I saw an elderly man with a WWII Veteran cap on. I simply walked up and thanked him for defending our freedom. He told me he signed up at 17 and drove a tank on the beach at Normandy when he was 20. He fought in Belgium, France, and Germany. I told him that I appreciated what he did for me. When I walked a way, he was wiping his eyes with his hanky.

Try it. It'll make you feel good. But more important, it seems to make THEM feel good. They're all dying now. Say somethig while you still can.
