When we came back to the U.S. and wore our uniforms, we were spit at and called Baby killers. I was in Beirut and Tripoli Libya and Cuba and never fired a shot. Thank God I never had to kill anyone. I saw the devastation of war and the aftermath of dictators eliminating the voice of reason in their Countries. We might not be the greatest generation but we would have laid down our life just like hundreds of thousands of our troops have done before us.

He never talked about anything concerning the war in front of anyone except them. Humble at best, but the greatest generation, I have to agree.
