No honor is too great for those who were there.
While my father's uncle wasn't there on D-Day, he did go though the Battle of the Bulge. I can recall bugging him when I was a kid to tell me war stories and, of course, he refused.
Years later, after he was long gone, I saw "Saving Private Ryan" and that horrific opening sequence. And it occurred to me that the old man I was bugging likely was involved in things exactly like what was shown in the film.
I cried and wished that I could have asked for my great-uncle's forgiveness.
