Thanks!

We are losing our WWII vets at an alarming rate. I thank your father for his service.

It shouldn't be too alarming since they are mostly in their late 80s or better.
Those guys back then smoked and drank a lot and didn't have the best eating habits.
Don't even get me started on the work place hazards.
