There's about 50k WWII vets left and they'll number in the hundreds within the next 5 or 6 years. Get to know those around you while the opportunity still exists.

I was thinking yesterday about how my grandmother was born closer to the Civil War than WWII and knew veterans of that war.

Sorry, he wasn't an Aggie and no longer alive. I misunderstood the thread. Sorry.

I got to go there on my band of brothers tour last year.

My uncle was in the Navy off the coast of Normandy "shelling the shight" out of Omaha beach before they sent the Army up on the beach. My other 3 Uncles on my dad's side served in the Army under Patton and marched into Germany with him..Another Uncle on my Mom's side was in the Navy in the Pacific on the USS Enterprise. Another Uncle (by marriage) on my Mom's side was a gunner in a bomber on D Day...

All of them, along with many other of my younger relatives have there names on a big Veteran's Memorial in Young County (Graham, Texas)...

My uncle, 1st Lt. Victor Lee Koenig '41, 82 Airborne (but was that day not air commanded) landed at Omaha Beach.
Thank you, Uncle Vic, sir!

Vic graduated from Texas A&M University in 1941, where he was a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie band. He was first and foremost always an Aggie.

Upon graduation, he served his country honorably as a 2nd Lt. in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne. He was part of the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944, and earned a Purple Heart.
