Last toast for World War II Last Man's Club

11. My Dad had a WW2 group he was involved in called "the Prometheans".

We would meet every year in different cities throughout the US and then return every 5 years to Washington DC. My Dad passed in 1997 but we still continued to go to honor our Father. The group in 2011 had it's last reunion. I had so grown to love the members and their families became my extended family. At the end there were only about 10 surviving members left who attended for the last reunion. One had Alzheimers but seemed to remember me and cried at lot when we went up to hug and kiss him. Several more could not attend because they were not physically up to it. The average age was 88 at that point. I feel for these folks in this article. These vets are our heroes.
