Like it's it was something that if there was another guy that was your age out in public, odds are we served together.

We did the same thing.

And that's just not the case anymore.

And I wonder if that makes it harder on veterans nowadays.

It's funny, though, to see those timelines, those things that you wouldn't think would work out.

Like, because we have videos, like actual videos of Civil War veterans, like speaking and like talking to each other and things like that.

It's also like, well, it's one of those where you just segment these things in your mind, but you don't actually think about, okay, where this went.

Like, for example, I know the meme that gets shared around is Rosa Parks lived to see the movie Shrek.

It's like things that in your mind don't make sense.

It's like, oh, well, hell, I guess that's true.

And planes.

That's crazy.

Yeah, my grandfather was a combat dozer or combat engineer.

in the Pacific in World War II, then fought in Korea, and then did some spooky advisory stuff in Vietnam.

And so the way that it was described to me, anyway, was that in Vietnam, his role was, we'll go up in a plane.

He was a pilot.

We'd go up in a plane.

We'd take pictures of things with the locals.

And then the next day when we went up in that plane again, the things we took pictures of weren't there anymore.

It was kind of one of those, I heard that there was like a family gathering.
