Will all Veterans please arise.

How about dear old dad? He is 96 but was 4F for WW2 due to no depth perception although he volunteered after Pearl Harbor. He stayed behind at the Boeing Company in the 40s and invented a gizmo to figure out why the flaps on B52s were failing on takeoff. Can't fly a B52 without flaps. Lots of heros out there for everyone.
