Furthermore, these men are the last of the few, they earned their medals in the bloodiest and hardest of ways, the where prepared to lay down their lives for us and future generations in the bloody conflict that was WWII, they have my total and upmost respect, and if they wanted to wear their medals on their pyjamas, then that's ok by me
