Daniel K. Inouye (1924-2012)

They have been called the "The Greatest Generation." The generation that fought WWII. I just watched the last episode of Ken Burns' "The War" the other night and was reminded of Sen. Inouye's enormous battlefield sacrifice in France for a country that only a couple of years earlier had barred him from service because of his "race." For all of its flaws, a remarkably selfless generation. We will miss them, and you, Senator. Mahalo.
