We are down to a single WW2 veteran left in our local veteran group. One of these days, we will have to perform his funeral. That day will be very hard on our group. We all know he is the last one of us that truly made a difference with his service. He just says "we did what needed to be done, anyone else would do the same".A.K.A. Brian

My maternal step grand father was a front line surgeon on Omaha beach. He stopped bleeding, pulled bullets and schrapnel from soldiers right there on the sand. He went back for the 20th anniversary and a German soldier who was there manning a MG42. They got to talking and were soon friends. They both were there again for the 50th. Somehow ABC news found out about them and interviewed the both of them. I have a tape of it here somewhere. Peter Jennings, the last good news anchor, was the one. I emailed him when Fred died and he emailed me back for info on his funeral. I.think.they sent fkowers or something.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver
