The 500 makes veterans nervous. It's a matter of bottling up those nerves and using it for you, not against you. It's a long month. You have to settle on a good pace and not come on too strong, early in the month.

We want to thank all World War II veterans, their families and the American people who supported the effort on the home front. The young men and women who served in uniform and on the home front are now in their 80s and 90s.

Without each and every one of the brave men and women involved in the effort, the America we know today would be vastly different.

It's not only World War II, but we're losing Vietnam veterans, Korean.
