I went to a jazz concert tonight and had the honor of meeting a World War II vet. His name is Charlie and he was in the Navy, deployed on a tanker in the Pacific theater. He is 92.

What an honor. We are making plans to meet him again at another concert in  
December.

Happy Veterans Day everyone.

My dad was a WW II vet. He was an Ensign in the Navy on a destroyer escort in the Pacific. He was 93 when he died in 2017. He never talked about his experiences.
