A couple of weeks ago, I had the fortunate opportunity to meet a true hero of mine... a World War II veteran (Ray Johnston of the Brian Center Nursing Care in Powder Springs, GA. this one is for you!) am a huge fan of service members and the service that they have provided. It was an honor for me to listen to the true-to-life depiction of the island hopping campaign by the United States Marines at that time. I'm sure this fellow has forgotten more memorable moments in his life than the moments that I have had, so far, but the details of his exploits in the south pacific were crystal clear.
If you have the opportunity to meet one of the unsung heroes of the last few generations, do me a favor... just listen! They have so much to say and for theme to know that there are young whipper-snappers really listening may give them hope that what they have sacrificed wasn't in vain! But what do I know... I'm just the luckiest "Some Guy" around. (R.I.P. - Pearl Harbor Veterans)!
