Many.
I'm serving my second year as Post Commander of my American Legion Post. We still have quite a few of "The Greatest Generation" still hanging out. Most of 'em have some story to tell.
Last night one of them brought in a plaque that was given to him for his efforts in expelling the Imperial Japanese Army from the Aleutian Islands, along with a Letter of Commendation from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. 65 years late, but he was still just as proud of it. It was actualy a very nice plaque.
edited because it's spelled Aleutian Islands, not Alluetion Islands. And it's Governor Palin, not Paladin.
