    Such men as these continued the tradition of the "Greatest Generation" - they saw the need and they served.
    Actually, I don't know a Veteran I wouldn't say the same thing about.

    Bob makes light of this mess ! Bob was smart he got help years later to help his mind/spirit come back as much as possible?
    Meaning, this man had terrible nightmares at night something you would describe out of a horror movie.
    Lotta men we’re not smart as Bob and didn’t get help. They didn’t get counseling and they’re not with us anymore. Thank God above in heaven, that this man is still here to tell his heroic bravery to us all, when they made Bob, it broke the mold !
    Bob is such a special human being to our world. He still has a sense of humor and he still has his own personal identity. He has a memory of Vietnam but he does not make that his identity
    He has a more powerful story than anyone I’ve ever listen to,
    Bob still is Bob!!
    truly one of the greatest heroes I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
