Unimaginable....Superheroes


Still, I always feel the need to point out that "The Greatest Generation" thing never sits well with me. And this with the greatest possible respect for those men and women.
But greater than those who fought in the Revolution and formed a country out of a wilderness ? Or either side of the Civil War who after fighting each other in unimaginable ways rebuilt the Union that enabled the generation of WW1 to establish this country as a great world power ? And credit to those who fought unpopular wars after, and were willing to both protest and do their duty, some simultaneously...and what about those who served recently and serve now ?
I am in awe of them all and in equal measure and Paul, your telling of Don Malarky and the young vet at the pool hall - and stories of old enemies even, at reunions do not elevate any one of them above the others. There is nothing greater than any generation stepping up to risk life and limb for what they believe in.
