| It's astonishing the rate that the WWII vets are dying off as well. When I worked for the Red Cross it was a big big issue cause the RC relyies on WWII vets as volunteers. Thier pool for driving is essential for SW Kans blood pickups. They drive out of Wichita to shuttle the blood back that is collected. I can remember that finding a volunteer to drive often was a hit and miss process. They had stats on just how fast they are dying off (VFW also monitor this cause that was thier membership pool) and it was amazing.
Course now we got lots of forgien wars to pool from for the VFW.
Sad but nice story there OOD - an era gone!
