This page contains data entry 20470 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I've subtly noticed that in local Veterans Day or 4th of July parades, they always include veterans from every major conflict.

I've noticed recently that they've been "scraping the barrel" for WWII. No longer paratroopers or Iwo Jima marines, but now they seem to only be able to find men who joined late 1945 and were a clerk in Kansas when the war ended.

It feels weird seeing Vietnam vets now the way I saw WWII vets when I was a kid (in the early 2000s)

I feel extremely lucky to have met and had a conversation with a D-Day/Market Garden/Battle of the Bulge Dakota pilot (he was at all 3) in 2019 or so. Said he wanted to be a fighter pilot but the army essentially went "best we can do is Dakotas, take it or leave it."

What really stuck with me was him saying in regards to D-Day "I sure hoped I dropped them over land" without a hint of humor in his voice (otherwise, he was a very funny man, patting his belly and saying he lost "my own Battle of the Bulge")
