On VJ Day, New Generations Remember

From here in 2010:

We’ve long known that our World War II veterans were dying at an alarming rate. Some estimates put the figure at 1,000 a day. With them go important personal stories that will no longer be told, along with photo albums, scrapbooks and mementos. But as Sunday’s 65th anniversary of VJ Day approaches, I’m happy to report that for all the talk about the dwindling numbers of “the Greatest Generation,” there are new generations stepping up to keep their memory alive. Namely, the veterans’ children and grandchildren.

A heartwarming story. I am thankful and glad there are those who will not let the memories and lessons of WWII die on their watch. Read it all and remember those in that generation.
