I think if those guys could read these forums they would be AMAZED at the amount of respect and honor we hold for them and what they did and went through. Even AMERICANS (and USN vets to boot) showing respect for the job they did would astound them.
I remember waaaay back in the Intel 486 SX/DX CPU days when I bought B-17 flying fortress my grandfather came over (who flew B24's) and looked at it. He was humbled and amazed by the gameplay, as well as the fact that someone would care enough to learn and re-enact what he did during those horrible days.
