They all are Hero's oohrah!RIP Charles Durning. but I don" t agree about all of the greatest generation stuff, my nephew died Dec 14 this year while in the Army. at 30 yr old he was in for 9 years and did three 1 year deployments over in the sand wars. the army is returning him to his mother in spokane today, for his final memorial thur. he was so well liked by his fellow soldiers that they gave him a memorial in Afganistan, and Georgia (his US base) and the one tomorrow.
As long as there is brave young men and women who are willing to risk giving all to our country I have to be optimistic. I am a disabled vietnam vet, and all of the men in my line have served all the way back to WWI. I think that all of the American Heros are the same. JMHO

PS don't think I am bashing any of your comments or that I was offended by them. Charles was a hero. So wa Jimmy
