Meeting, listening to, and talking with so many of our
fellow veterans of World War II during this Memorial dedication, was an
experience I will never forget. Without exception, that strong dedication,
unity, belief, and love of our country was expressed in so many ways. Like
seeing the faces of my fellow veterans while the playing of our National
Anthem and God Bless America...standing at attention, giving the hand
salute with misty eyes, and shaking hands. Often, during the few days that
we attended the ceremonies at the "Salute to WWII Veterans" at the MCI
Center, at the "Dedication Ceremonies," and finally at the beautiful
Memorial itself, our thoughts went back to some of those desperate, painful,
and also exciting, and even wonderful days we lived a lifetime ago - and we
remembered our friends and comrades who never came home...
