Had the honor to meet a member of the 101st Airborne who landed inland from Omaha beach on June 6, 1944. Just like Private Ryan. Softspoken, wheelchair bound and proud, I didn't expect to get choked up after I shook his hand and thanked him for what he did.
It was the first time I'd thanked a veteran. Amrbose's Band of Brothers taught me brotherhood was what won the war.
I think I know what Patriotism means. Maybe at least one member of the greatest generation thinks this gen-exer isn't so terribly uncool.
