I lost a friend and a fellow veteran today. Bill Morris, age 91, of Covington, GA. Bill had a twin brother, both served in Army Signal Corps. Bill was in the second wave to go ashore at Omaha Beach on D Day, right in rear of Infantry and light artillery, laying cable and setting up front line communications.

An interesting aside, another fellow in my Sunday school class, Sanford McDonald, 88, was on board ship on the way to an all out attack on the Japanese mainland when they received word that the Japanese had surrendered, and the war was over.

Never forget the greatest generation. I hope we never have to be faced with war again. Thanks Bill, and Sanford and all other Vets for your service to our country.
