WWII vets tour memorial, remember fallen brothers-in-arms
Clouds lingered overhead, as young and old walked around the water fountain at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

A leather-skinned gentleman, standing upright with his shoulders back, strolled arm-in-arm with another man who walked with a slight limp. The two, both with slight smiles on their age-worn faces, reminisced about the war they survived together while touring their memorial.
