World War II Memorial

Coming across the pic of this plane reminded me of a segment I saw yesterday on CBS Sunday AM. (I TiVoed this and watched it after attending Sunday School and church.) Anyway, they were telling how this group in Hendersonville, NC decided to send all of their WWII vets to Washington to see the memorial. Many of them needed assistance and nurses to accompany them, but they really appreciated seeing that. Many were greeted by friends and family members too. A few of them talked on camera about the war. One veteran was a prisoner of war, and he was there to see General Patton coming in on his Jeep, and he saw the Nazi swastika coming down and our flag going up. A deep sense of gratitude and pride welled up as I watched. As it was stated, "These are those who helped save the world."
