Veterans Bragging

A trio of old veterans were bragging about the heroic exploits of their ancestors one afternoon down at the VFW hall.

- My great grandfather, at age 13 - one declared proudly - was a drummer boy at Shiloh.

- Mine - boasts another - went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.

- I'm the only soldier in my family - confessed vet number three - but if my great grandfather was living today he'd be the most famous man in the world.

- Really? What'd he do? - his friends wanted to know.

- Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old.
