Thanks for posting Willy...
When we were down there, I sat and talked to Pop...his days in the Navy came up and I asked him what he did...he said he served aboard the U.S.S. Cowpens...as it turns out, my house is about 5 miles from the little historic town of Cowpens, SC for which that ship was named...The Battle of Cowpens was an important turning point in the Revolutionary War and the battlefield is preserved today...I explained all that to him and I could see his eyes light up and dance w/all the details I could provide about the ship he so proudly served on...later, I went to the Cowpens Public Library, copied some literature and publications from the war days about the ship and where she served...sent them to Franco to share w/his dad and Franco later told me Pop appreciated them very much. Franco's dad is a prime example of why his is called "The Greatest Generation"...let us never forget or take for granted what we have today because Pop's generation went to war to preserve it. Thanks, Pops!!

Prayers to Pop and the whole family Franco. Interesting bunch that greatest generation, a lesson in humility. They all deserve our thanks, but they'd be the last one to ask for it. Thanks Pop

Thanks for letting us know Willy. Although we would like to, we can't keep our parents forever. My sister and I talked about it this past weekend and neither can imagine what life would be like without them. Franco, my prayers are with you, your dad and the rest of your family.
