Testimony

Mid-morning, a steady procession of cars was exiting the Route 1 bypass onto Route 82 south and then turning into Union Hill Cemetery. A group of VFW guys, in uniform, were already lined up at the gravesite, waiting for their part in the burial service. Everyone had gathered to pay their respects to yet another World War II veteran who had died, and I have to say that my eyes pricked a little at the thought that so many members of the Greatest Generation, along with all of the Holocaust survivors, are leaving us. Just this week I read an amazing piece about a 90-year-old woman and how she survived the Holocaust and was so glad that she had a chance to share her story.
