520			_a"Until three years ago, Bill Guarnere's heroics in World War II were mostly unknown even to his neighbors. Then came the 2001 HBO series 'Band of Brothers,' which zeroed in on the company of paratroopers with whom he had fought on D-Day and in battles across France, Holland and Belgium. Suddenly, Guarnere, now 81, had Hollywood actors and a People Magazine photographer in his home. Strangers sought his autograph. He even heard his Easy Company nickname called out in airports: 'Hey, Wild Bill!' His only regret, he said, was that 'my wife, Fanny, didn't live to see this.' The attention heaped on Guarnere is an extreme version of what many World War II veterans have experienced recently--a wave of belated affection that will crest next weekend [May 29, 2004] with the dedication of the National World War II Memorial in Washington." (KRT NEWS SERVICE) This article relates the surprise many World War II veterans are experiencing with the country's belated recognition and appreciation as "they advance in age and dwindle in number."
