WWII veterans mark 70th anniversary of VE Day

 "I think this was a wonderful event," Floyd Brantley said. "During the war there were 16 million men. Since then we are dying out fast. We got one million now, and losing about 1,500 a day. All these men here - we're all getting older and soon there will be none left. So this event was outstanding and fascinating and I was glad to attend it."

Brantley is a World War II veteran, who served in the Navy in the Pacific Theater. But that did not stop him and his son, Charles, from coming all the way from Arkansas to attend the Victory in Europe 70th Anniversary at the National World War II Memorial event in Washington, D.C., May 8.
