Today we had the honor of hosting a group of World War II Prisoners of War (POW) at the 133rd. The Honor Guard Team presented the POW/MIA table for the veterans, and then squadron members gave them a tour of our unit. The group that I tagged along with were mostly fliers (we had one infantryman our small group), and I learned a lot from these men today. Each time I meet a veteran, I am overwhelmed by the courage and selflessness they display. These men have given us a piece of their lives that can never be taken back, and I don't think they'd want it back if they could have it. They've seen and done things that most of us couldn't imagine. Endured the worst things life has to offer ~ and yet they are thankful. It is an honor for me to have had the opportunity to thank them, and I just wanted to share those quick thoughts with you.
Love to you all,
Rikki
