Default Ken - No WW2 Vets

Ken,

That is just such a tragedy. We all know this is inevitable, but with some of the scum crowding the world now, it's so unfair we are losing these grand fellows instead.

Each year I see less of my dear old favorites on ANZAC Day. Then some time in the future I may see a plaque dedicated to their memory in our ANZAC Memorial Lane. That's very hard to come to terms with. The only redeeming feature is that majority of the WW2 guys are now tired to the extent that they are feeling 'ready to go'.

I did have one pleasent surprise today, and I will be writing a post about that particular Gentleman in next few minutes.
