[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3813449, member: 45328"] I was reading some post about vererans and thought of a funny true story! I didn't witness this personally, but have heard it from several sources, Years ago not long after WW2 Sun Refinery had about 1200+ employees, when I went to work there in 1977 we had about 600, I think. the supervisors back years ago would have a meal catered into the Refinery, at noon, and call this a business meeting, of the 20/30 top supervisors to justify the expense. This was nothing more than a good hot meal, and bull session. All these guys had been involved in WW2, except one older masn, that was a veteran of WW1! This old man listened to war stories every day for months, and finely one day he said, you guys in WW2, were a bunch of sissy's compared to GREAT WAR combat. We had it much tougher than you guys did in WW2! Naturally someone spoke up and ask, what did you do in the GREAT WAR? The old man replied I was a paratrooper! One guy said, wait a minute, the parachoot wasn't invented until 1923! To which the old man replied, SEE WHAT I MEAN? [/QUOTE]
