World War II heroes, ages 100 and 98, fought in Battle of the Bulge, are grand marshals of Philly parade

Both men are members of American Legion Post 405 in Philadelphia and veterans of the Battle of the Bulge Association, Delaware Valley Chapter at the Chapel of the Four Chaplains. They've been active in veterans affairs for decades, and became close friends, they say, over the past decade or so. The biggest honor, the men agreed, is to represent the Americans who fought in World War II as young men but who never returned to enjoy any acclaim, respect or honor for their achievements as older men.

I weep inside at this story! My Dad, Wally Moede, above, was a SGT. in the U.S. Marines in WW II! I miss him so much! The World War II generation is our greatest ever! The Greatest Generation: Birth Years, Characteristics, and History. As Sharon and I minister, we love on them with the love of Jesus and prayer. The World War II generation is a treasure that is passing away more and more everyday. Now we see that our Vietnam Veterans are passing away. I love meeting many Vets in the post office! make sure and hug a Veteran today! I also get sad when so many young people do not know the history behind WW II.
