In addition - the US alone will loses over 1000 WWII vets a day!! Some say more like 1500 a day. I read somewhere that the US will lose over 400K WWII vets this year. Just look at the obituary in your local paper. Ask your questions now. Dont be shy, most WWII vets I talk to are very open and more than willing to talk about it.

either next year, or the year after we will probably run out of these living relics...they'll finally find peace after having lived with the terrible memories, memories of mankind at it's worst
