In the past we posted here for Memorial Day, I found 2 that were exceptional.

It is Memorial Day.... or Decoration Day. What will you be doing.

Also the last two survivors of the Sinking of USS Arizona just recently went on to his fellow shipmates. He lived 102 years.

Ken Potts, one of last 2 USS Arizona survivors, dies at 102

We still remember!

As Memorial Day comes to an end I think it's ok to move to a lighter story of soldiers who survived while we're in a "military" mood. I think you'll find the story of "The Ghost Army of WW II" as fascinating as I did. It's long, which is why i'm posting a link to it instead of the whole story. So pick a time to read it when you can stay long enough to read it.
