I was sent this link today - the singer is a Canadian, Patrick Kelly, and the song is called "A Pittance of Time". He wrote it after visiting a store where they were asking the customers to take two minutes and remember the veterans...and one of the customers didn't.

If it doesn't bring tears to your eyes something is wrong...

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old,

My glass will be raised tomorrow for my grandfather who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 80. World War II vet. Mr. Roy Flores of Santa Rosa, Texas, you will forever be in our hearts. Miss you.

 

I have a Steven Motor Chair, that was designed and built to help the Disabled American Veterans returning home from World War II. Mr. Steven was overcome with sorrow from seeing all the disabled veterans returning home, he felt that he had to do something to help the disabled vets become mobile (to some extent) again, with his help they could at least get outside and move around their neighborhood. So he designed the chair, held a full time job. and worked late into the nights in his garage, with his wife helping him to build the first chairs by hand. A writer published a 6 page story, in the Coronet Magazine in Feb. 1965, telling the story of this great American and his wife and the chair. I will post some pictures of the chair and some pages from the Coronet. To read the complete story, go to my photo site and you will find the story, a copy of company brosure, and more pictures of the chair, in the photo album titled Misc Items for sale. To view go to

The Soldier.

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organiser,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped in the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

 

My father 85 a WWII vet and a prisoner of war in germany,almost starved to death, the things they went through for us we will never know.The true heroes talk very little about it.GOD BLESS all of you that have gave so much!!!!!!
