That's a shame, and my regrets to his family. He served his country and helped bring us the freedom we now have so my hats off to him and my thanks to him.

A salute to him and God Bless... That generation were all Hero's.

The guy was 109! I think that has to be some kind of survival ability in and of itself. It isn't exactly survival but I thought it warranted him being remembered.

It does, and he's one of the older hero's of our country. He'll be missed but always remembered and respeted.
