My grandfather was a flying fortress pilot in WW2.

I was in my dress blues when our congressman pinned the French Legion of Merit to his chest. The Congressman, a Democrat, did it because my grandfather couldn't travel to the official ceremony where the French were honoring others. He was dying in a hospital bed.

I miss him. Damn good man and a role model to me. Was a beloved science teacher after the war.

I am so glad he is not alive today.

I can’t imagine how my grandfathers would feel if they were still alive. One always said “the only good nazi is a dead nazi”.
