The program was conceived by Earl Morse, a Physician Assistant and retired Air Force Captain, to honor veterans he has taken care of for the past 27 years. Earl asked one man, a World War II veteran from Springfield, Ohio if he had ever seen his memorial in Washington D.C. That man broke down and cried. He said at his age and position in life he would probably never get to his memorial. It was dedicated in 2004 for a generation that the youngest member is 76 years old. A man's average life expectancy is 74.5. Where does that leave us? Sadly, time is not on our side.
