I wish I was half the man those guys were. Tough as nails, grateful, caring, modest and for the most part just damn good people. When my FiL passed we found his service medals that no one in the family knew of. He had never mentioned these to anyone. Nor had he ever spoken of the war. My wife and SiL looked them up and there was one for bravery when he went into a burning plane, removed and saved the pilot. Not one word, ever.
Richard, who is in his 90's and wears his WW2 cap, basks in the sun on our street corner some mornings. The dogs and I stop and spend a few minutes with him whenever he is out there. The dogs love him as he pets and admonishes them. I adore him because he is everything that I love and respect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
