My daughter met several of them and thought that they were very nice gentlemen.

They are all passing on, a shame. I saw the movie at the theater in fact it was the first time I'd been to see a movie since Walking Tall with Jo Don Baker. I was kind of disappointed in the Hollywierd version I thought they could have done a better job of showing how important they were to the war effort.

IIRC, we are losing something on the order of 1,100 WWII veterans per day now. The last WWI veteran just passed away. Another 20 years and we'll be saying that about the last WWII veteran... :(
