The Greatest Generation.... sad for the loss.... don't let that history be forgotten.
Those who fought in WWII are truly a group apart...
Many may not know of the story of Calvin Graham....
He was TWELVE (12) YEARS OLD in 1942 - and signed up to go fight in the war.
And he was able to sneak in to the Navy and was put aboard USS South Dakota. As a gunner/loader saw action in 2 major battles, including the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. Was awarded medals of valor.
Many kids under 16 attempted to sign up to fight in WWII and actually several made it in....
Not exactly your 'hippie class dope smoker' or 'millennial latte drinker' class of American.

Kyle is an exception to the squishy standard of today's youth.
