HE would still be talking today about those young men folding the flag & the Taps, words cannot Ever explain....He would have been so PROUD & impressed! tHANK YOU..............

It brought tears to my eyes when they blew Taps for my Uncle, a bombardier in WW2 in the Pacific. My dad is soon to be 87, he was a P51 Mustang pilot flying out of England to parts unknown. It was only in recent years that he told us any stories of the war. They all worked their arses off for this country.

Elly, I feel for you. VN was a different time, a bad time, bad circumstances. But as always, paid for either way by the armed forces. I trust today people have a better understanding of the vast differences between politics and the soldier's missions. It seems they do, and I hope so.

Welcome back
