He used to enjoy talking about his experiences, particularly the surviving members of his combat group. Now he lives with Alzheimer's in a nursing home, and so your last line particularly struck me. Memory is how he expressed gratitude for his comrades in the war, and memory is how we express gratitude for him. You said it so beautifully. Regards, Laurie Hi Dave,
