A forgotten generation

So in honor of Veteran's Day tomorrow. I thought I would post this New York Times article:

Taps for WWI veterans

I can't claim credit for finding it (Chris' blog) or writing it (a journalist named Lisa Hoffman) but I can tell everyone to read it. It is amazing to think of what these men did for our country and how quickly they were forgotten. They are the few remaining members of a truly amazing generation that often gets overlooked and under appreciated. They have lived through some of the most monumental moments in our countries history. These men remind us of how far our country (and in some ways the world) has come yet how far it has left to go. They have so much to teach us but there are very few left to pass the message on. Hopefully we can start listening before there is no one left.
