We had the pleasure of meeting Wesley and I have a picture of him with my 9 year old. She was so excited that he wanted to take a picture with her. He really did make "history come alive."

Mr. Niccolls was holding court at the Pacific section of the monument. My family & I stopped to listen & chat with him. He told us all about his ship and some of his experiences during the war. He also showed us pictures of the ship he served on. He was fascinating. We thanked him for his service. It was our great honor to have met him.

We talked for nearly an hour. Wes really defines "The Greatest Generation" and to have served his country without hesitation, says alot about his true nature to contribute so much lost knowledge to make our lives better. Mr. Niccolls, at 91 years young, has the sharpest and most intact mind to remember intricate details of his critical and admirable contributions to our different space programs, especially to NASA's Gemeni IV program and to our current space exploration efforts. Our present generation should learn as much as we can from Wesley and Veterans like him before they are all gone, to unselfishley make our Nation a better place to live and play. Thank you again Wes for your service! I salute you Sir. Andrew My associates an I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. Niccolls while strolling by the WWII Memorial. We talked for nearly an hour.

Having had 3 great uncles who served in WWII I had to see that memorial. Had the privilege of meeting Mr. Niccolls and what a privilege it was. A delightful person who was so kind to take his time and answer my questions about his service to our country. Ten minutes with him and I was reminded once again why his truly is "the greatest generation". They put their lives on hold to serve and sacrifice for our freedoms. Freedoms that sadly so many people only blocks away from the WWII Memorial treat with such disregard. Thanks, Mr. Niccolls, for your service. Was in D.C. for the first time ever in January ’09.
