History Channel Friends

One night my Dad, a retired Army colonel, was watching a program on TV about paratroopers. As one D-Day jumper began to comment, he exclaimed,
"That's Jack Norton! I served in both Korea and Vietnam with him."
Then, after watching the man speak for a few moments, he quietly remarked......
"You know you're getting old when you have more friends on the History Channel than in the news."
