This post is important to me as the son of a World War II veteran. It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years since I was first nominated for a series of columns in DU and won second place (to my surprise). I am grateful to DU for providing this forum all these years and for fighting the good fight in these dark times.

Many thanks to each of you for your kind words and support.

Bennet
