Horse'n Around 22 #3 Posted January 11, 2011 Shifty Powers passed away June of 09 and a month later Forrest Guth passed away. Little by little not only the members of Easy Company, but all the veterans of WW2 are crossing over the river.While Shifty was battling cancer, I sent him a get well card and a few months before he passed I received a think you card. Ill treasure it always. They are indeed the Greatest Generation,No matter what you call them... WW2 veterans, or The Greatest Generation, its sad because we will never seen the likes of them again.

WW2 veterans, or The Greatest Generation, its sad because we will never seen the likes of them again. John I could not agree more. I often find myself thinking of how much better this country or world could be if people had the values, ethic, moral and heart that people of their generation did. God bless them all. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
