WW II Normandy vet died today

[Tom-ADC]

My grandsons other grandpa died today, Mr.Vega was a Normandy landing veteran, he was a pretty quite guy, we used to chat while watching Justin play either baseball or football. Justin was with him as he passed, one of lives bitter lessons, I hope he is at my side when I make that crossing.
So long Mr. Vega you were a great man and a real hero in our life time.

We are diminished as a nation by his passing. Rest in peace, Mr. Vega. You have earned your respite.

A truly great nation (which is no more) called and he answered the call willing to give all. Rest in peace.

Those men & women stood up when it was their turn. They made the world a better place. I would say, also, when it was our turn, we too, stood up. Rest in peace. Mike

For years on the anniversary of the D Day landings the local TV both here and the mexican stations out of TJ would interview him about the landings. He was a proud old soldier.
