The gentleman on the right is saluting during the National Anthem being sung by the young lady on the lefty. He’ll be 100 years old next week and is a WWII vet who designed and built roads and runways in Burma for the US Army Air Corps. He was the guest of honor at our local Memorial Day Service. I spoke with him for a few moments congratulating him on his longevity and his comment, sadness in his voice was: “All my guys are gone. I’m the only one left.”

That is the saddest thing about living to a ripe old age.
