    I really do feel that the WW2 soldiers showed the world what United States was made of!! I had many relatives who served in that war and we lost an uncle on the USS Drexler (kamakazi) An uncle that was a POW in a german prison camp and survived. Other relatives survived and came home to raise families. You guys are the greatest generation and our soldiers today have such great role models....YOU!!! Thanks for your service!!!

    Is anything being organized so the crossroads can honor these veterans?
