    World War II vet

    I had to take my wife to the doctors the other day and as I sat there this older gentleman walked in and sat down. He was wearing a hat that proclaimed WWII vet. I don't see many of them about anymore. I went over to talk to him and he immediately informed me I had to speak up as he had lost most of his hearing getting shelled ferrying supplies into Saipan. He said his hearing was still there but he was D***d if he could find it. I thanked him for his service and saluted him as I left. Since the day I got my discharge I only salute those I feel deserve it.
