Fred,
They are all getting older and going through all of the stuff they did seems to really snowball as you get older and seem to have less resistance to fight against nerves, and various other things. It is sad, but as fact of life that we have to face. There are only a very few still left around here. I believe I only saw about 6 at the parade last time and there used to be a couple of dozen. Even the Vietnam Veterans are not so many any more as several of them have passed on from some diseases they caught in the jungles over there.
