If you have or had a grandfather/grandmother or father/mother who served in World War II and you wondered why he or she never talked about the war, this is why. Charles Durning was only one of 16 plus million who served and when asked to speak about his tour of duty he would only say "Why....do you want to see me cry?" Finally, in 2004, he spoke. Listen carefully to his words and watch his emotions. War affects each and everyone of our service men and women and their families deeply for the rest of their lives. Remember this when you meet a vet no matter where or when he/she served. Honor them, thank them and most of all "Remember". This is an excerpt from the National Memorial Day Concert that was aired last night. I used my camcorder to capture this portion of the show that is why it sou...
