Thank you for sharing this.

During WWII, my maternal grandfather was in the Dutch Navy and became a POW in a Japanese occupied concentration camp in Indonesia. I never knew him b/c he died in the camp in 1942. I will especially be thinking of my grandfather on May 4th.

Never forgotten, God bless your Troops- past, present & future.

All are Heros and owed an unpayable debt for their service to all.

Thank you for this post and welcome to you & handsome Bono
