Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking about legacies at a MOAA (Military Officers of America Association) luncheon. I met more colonels there than I had in my total lifetime (can you tell I am not from a military family?). The event included a special presentation to a WW II fighter pilot of a replica of the plane he flew when he was an Ace flyer. In those days, the pilots were allowed to paint and name their planes, his was named Miss Velda. As he stood up to make his way to the podium, there at his side was his wife, Velda. This man was bright, stood tall, spoke so sharply, it was hard to believe he could have participated in WW II. I was in awe … to be in his presence was truly an honor.
