Sorry to hear about Bob from Wykoff, NJ. That's about 100 miles north of me I think. The Bob Weinsteins of the world were the onus for this post and thread! Most WWII Vets are mid-70's to late 80's. There will not be to many Veterans Days left that will have relatively healthy folks left to tell the stories. It is important that their stories DON"T Die with them!

Most people don't know this but Gen. Eisenhower rotated as many troops as possible through the death camps. He wanted to make sure that as many soldiers as possible saw the horror of Auschwitz, etc so that NO ONE could say it was a rumor and never happened. When their living history is gone, it's gone forever. Talk to them, the rewards are endless.!
