​On Thursday, Apr 6th, GLVFA held its monthly meeting with the main focus on our own GlenLakes WW2 veteran Roger A. Howard!   Though Roger was unable to attend due to a last-minute illness, his wife Beverly and son Don attended along with family and friends.   It was a wonderful and heartfelt event. We are grateful to have the privilege and honor of celebrating Roger, one of few WW2 veterans still with us.   He turned 100 on February 7th.

​Fact:  over 16.5 million men and woman served in WW2, and now there are well under 300,000 veterans left.   

Do you know?  In 10 years from now, an estimated 2000 or less WW2 veterans will be alive (source: Veterans Administration).   GLVFA members are honored to have one of our "greatest generation" is still with us.

To Roger and his wife Beverly, we all salute you!
