Apparently there is only one remaining World War I veteran; my thinking is we should send someone with a tape recorder and try to squeeze anything out of him that we can. Cause I was watching D-Day: The Price of Freedom last night, and you can talk about freedom and heroes til the cows come home, but it takes an old-timer reflecting on the event near the end of his own life to say the one thing from the hour I will always remember: him guiding the landing boat towards the beach and some guy telling him to get close enough so that he doesn't get wet when he jumps out.
