As an aside,

I have a Great Uncle who is also 92. He emigrated to the USA; got drafted; had to fight his own; was disowned by his European Family; the ship that landed him in Africa was torpedoed after his group disembarked; the stern only did return... I grew up five blocks from him and sat at his table at least three days a week since I was four years old. He will not make it to 93. He was, and is, a Combat Engineer, he could not read English, and could only interpret blueprints so we made him an engineer. He was proud to be an American and provided for his wife and two daughters and gave them a far greater life than even he thought was possible. I don't (actually I guess I do) intend to be melancholy but he won't see too many more days. Please pray for a soldier ready to go home.
