While we whine about connection speed, the price of gas, and our biggest daily challenge is the drive home from work, Charles and the guys (and gals) like him strapped on tin cans and went up against the best Europe and Asia had to offer while living with the distinct possibility that you would be dead before the next day. These guys didn't just defeat the Nazis and Imperial japanese, they changed the world. Yup, some guy from Texas and the hundreds of thousands like him changed the world. Could you imagine what the world would look like today if they hadn't dropped everything to go to war? Every time one of our vets like this die, we become a poorer society for their passing. To the men and women of our armed services and to the vets of wars past, Thank you and God bless.
