Another great American Hero! These guys are a rare and precious resource we are slowly loosing and they deserve our respect, our prayers, and our undying gratitude... anyone who doesn't appreciate Veterans (old and young) should just get out of our country. This story just brightened my day a bit!

Greatest thing I ever heard a Veteran say

Old Vet to Young kid "Do you Speak German or Japanese?"

Kid "No..."

Vet: "You are welcome."
