Yes. I am also considered to be pretty old. Many of my cadre in basic training (1961) had served in WW2 & Korea. I did work for a SFC who served in the original "Darby's Rangers."

MG Eugene A. Salet was the President of Georgia Military College while I was a Cadet there. He earned Glider Wings sometimes during WWII.
He was also 1LT Audie L.Murphy's Battalion Commander in the 3rd ID.
