pwd, that's fantastic. I understand the feeling; about every 6 weeks I have the privilege of dining with a bunch of vets and I'm in awe of many of them. One was a Pathfinder for the Normandy invasion. Another flew Mosquitoes and Lancasters in WWII. Another was in a Luft Stalag during the war and escaped. Another was infantry on New Guinea. Another had 25 missions in B-17s (but only 23 landings). The room is littered with Silver Stars and DFCs. To say it's humbling doesn't begin to describe the experience.
