Inspirational, thank you
We recently buried my uncle who had awards and commendations
for the things he decided he had to do.
There were things with that which haunted him his entire life.
Those that celebrated his life (his passing) found out afterwards what
someone does when he must and are in deep respect for
someone who said so little, as he did not speak of them
but to only a few.
The ones that he did speak to understood, he just needed
to express what was inside him. And let him because
they too needed someone to talk to, it was a mutual bond.
His death has made us closer to many people
who were far-flung and distant to us. He had no one to spend
his life with and lived as far away from 'civilization' as
he could and still be home. Still that town (he lived 38 miles from it)(the states veteran cemetary he was laid was 180 miles)
has never had a memorial with so many veterans that they could
remember. Godspeed.

My other uncle(wwII) said he is very fortunate and honored to have been
picked by his VFW to witness the opening of the WWII Memorial
in Washington DC and said it was a time of being proud, healing
and tears.
The one who passed away was a Vietnam vet.
Those that know, know war does not end.

please, just congratulate him for serving and
thank him for a job well done from all of us.
