Wow. If he's still there when you go back, please tell him I said thank you too.
How perfect that he got THE nurse he most needed assigned to him!
Wow, what a story.
As a WWII buff myself, I find it very sad how much people today forget those sacrifices that were made. I'm glad you remember, for him.
As always, a great post.
my first visit to your blog---great story. i subscribed to your feed.
Tears.
Thank you NW.
Thank heavens you have returned to bloging. Had a bad "trip" in Nov 07 and am just getting better now. So happy to read that all is "OK" with you. Have had so much happen that I hold all "friends" near and dear.
Love,

That is great that you got to spend an hour with the man and his wife. Your conversation was probably more important to him than the medicine.
William,
Those guys were the hero. They don't call 'em the greatest generation for nothing!
ooops... Make that Heros!
Fantastic. You made my evening William!
Nurse Wiilam, tears welled in my eyes just thinking that that as every day passes we another 2000 of these heroes. It was just a month or so ago we lost our last WW I veteran. It's up to us to keep the stories of these great men and women from being being forgotten. Nice story and thanks for stopping by my place the other day. I haven't forgotten you but I have been quite busy and don't post much lately.
Ploesti. My God.
And the next day or the day after, they went out again.
