To this day, he cannot bring himself to speak about it beyond a few, brief words about the horror.I'm hoping we all will still remember. it's because of people like your father that we are free to still speak the languages we do and we still can work where we choose and go where we want without clearing it with any government agency. It's because of them I'm able to type this without worrying that someone is spying on what I'm saying or doing and if they don't approve of what I do, they will deal with me rather harshly and unfairly. That's why I will remember for as long as I'm still able, those that served in any war on the side of freedom and peace.
Soon, he and the rest of his brave generation will be gone from among us, and who will remember then?
