The past few years have been marred with wars like the Viet Nam offensive, the Korean War, and the present war in Iraq. Each war had a cause and effect. The whole concept of war is not pleasant and defending our liberty costs many soldiers their own life. My own sons chose another career rather than the military but that does not mean that I don't have the highest regard for the young men who put their lives on the front each day. Men who could have chosen to walk away and leave the job to someone else.
For the men and women who fought in World War II life is almost over or sadly many of them are already dead. The veterans of that time period are about 80 years old and more names on the World War II Memorial are added each year. The memories of that time will have to be retold through history books or through the stories that have been handed down from one generation to the next. For us, it is a legacy that we want to pass on to our children.
