Huge congrats on 102 and hopefully many more.

It sure took brass stones to participate in that raid, in which our country really needed a boost during that time.

All those brave guys were great heroes, no question about it.

It won't be too much longer before all the WW2 vets are dead. Another 10-15 years at the most. Damn shame.
