When this article was written in 1892, the ranks of still-living veterans of the Civil War began to thin out. We in America have always honored our veterans in gratitude for their sacrifices.
In this year of 2006, the ranks of "The Greatest Generation" is rapidly thinning out. So too will the ranks of our brave men and women who served in the Korean War, and the Vietnam War begin to thin out.
Speaking of "The Greatest Generation," once again this year, R.W. Johnson Hospital of Hamilton will be hosting the WWII veterans with a "WWII Canteen." The affair will be held on Sunday, June 4th at their Quaker Bridge Road facility. For the fifth straight year, it will be my privilege to be a small part of the celebration, bringing an interlude of the music of the WWII era to these brave men and women. Watch for the press releases.
