Role call of our fathers: How many of us are children of WWII veterans or veterans from other wars?

Posted by Kristy aka Cyber-Mom on 11/12/2005, 16:25:47

I ask about WWII, because so many of that generation is passing on so swiftly now. I got the idea for the question from the sad post about BarbaraM's dad passing away. So I'm curious, how many of us are lucky to be here? Lucky that our dad's didn't get killed before we were created. Lucky that some of us were already created, but dad's came home to raise us after the war or wars they served in.
