Indeed. I know that you and your family will miss him dearly, csrund.

As Gen. Patton once said, "Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men."

Your grandfather was quite a man.

He bragged endlessly about all of his grandchildren, but never boasted once about any of his own merits.

I know a number of you are veterans. If you'll permit me one more indulgence, a couple of photos from yesterday's rite:

Thank you for sharing with us. One Bronze Star is amazing......Six....whoa. Grandchildren.....Priceless.
