That was a wonderful story of love. A great way for that gentleman to finish his life.
What a marvelous story of compassion and gratitude. He truly emulated what we all should be doing to follow the admonition of Jesus Christ, to do unto others . . .. Great will be his reward! Thank you for the story.
This is just a neat story.
We are losing this part of history at a rate of thousands a day to old age. Just a couple days ago there was a story about President Bush meeting the last liviing veteran of World War One, he is 107 years old. Considering that World War One and World War Two are about 20 years apart, in twenty years we will be saying goodbye to the last living veteran of World War Two. And right now, if a young man was drafted at age seventeen in 1945 to fight the very last battles of World War Two, that young may would be 80!
We are losing them fast!
