This weekend Bill Guarnere of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne died of natural causes. He and his fellow soldiers of Easy Company made a sacrifice for our nation that far exceeds what it seems that the majority of the American people to could comprehend. I feel that if we as a nation mourn the passing of a personally haunted entertainer who succumbed to their addictions that we should adequately honor and remember those who left their lives behind to endure countless hardships and years away from their family. Do you feel that we are adequately honoring our WWII/Korean/Vietnam Veterans as we should?

I absolutely agree, we are so concerned with what is going on now, that we forget what has happened in the past.
Movies like Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan briefly brought them to the forefront, but unfortunately it hasn't lasted as long.
One thing however is that now there is more respect for the military then there was in Vietnam, so for that I am grateful, but I do hope that we never forget the greatest generation and that we always remember them for what they did.
Our Labor and Memorial Day are thankfully days that we can honor them.

The politicians of today with the indoctrination centers(formerly schools) are so busy revising history to support their goals that they have to ignore history and those who made it. Then they can replace our Constitutional Republic with a national Socialist Government, just like NAZI Germany.

Yes!
Remembrance is falling fast, not a good thing.
I know of only one group that is geared towards educating remembrance for WWII service members, more specifically, the Liberators.
