I can;t believe that in early 2009 somebody put graffitti all over the monument which they were unveiling in this video. The cops will catch you, assholes.

I remember my step mom who was a nurse at the VA coming home and saying the last Spanish American War Veteran there had died.

I remember WWI Vets still coming home from a days work

I had a number of friends who's fathers were WWII Vets.

I never thought I was getting old but - time marches on.

And not a single Civil War Veteran is alive anymore. Pretty cool seeing what may have been the last reunion.

With those veterans trying to listen in the film, I'm suprised that they didn't have their hearing horns with them!

@AlabamaSoldier FDR was a progressive, not a conservative.

@1967mustanggta

Don't worry.

Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it....White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
