We are losing WWII vets at the rate of over 900 a day....if you have a loved one who served...get their story today...as they may not be here tomorrow......
We (and the whole world) owe them a lot....never forget...
That 900 figure is DOWN considerably from just a few years ago, when the rate was about 1,300 a day. That shows you how many fewer of them there are left. Now, there are more living Vietnam vets than there are WWII vets. And that was from a total force that had reached 16 million by the end of 1945.
