The Importance of Being a Veteran of the First World War

Lenny's father was the most decorated veteran of the First World War in the County Lafayette Flying Corps. He asked us about our service very specifically where we'd fought and really kept at it, asked us lots of questions. As soon as he realized none of us had seen the kind of action Larry had been shipped right into he got cold. I can imagine him that night lying in his dark bedroom thinking who were these boys to talk about my Larry? That's just the way the word gone for us.
