Our send off says a lot about us, how we were thought of, and how we lived. Your friends father sounds like someone that was admired and won't be forgotten soon. He sounds like he was a truly lucky man.

And everytime there's a beautiful day like today, you'll remember him - no better tribute.

Days like this remind me of what is important.

With Veterans Day yesterday...I looked at the Virtual Vietnam Veteran's Memorial again. It was amazing to read some of the tributes to various people who lost their life during the war. I found this statement by a Veteran reminded me what is important...and it does put into perspective what our priorities should be in life.

From the remembrance section of the Virtual Wall:

"Capt. B. T. Collins came home from Nam minus an arm and a leg. B. T.'s gone now but his prescription still rings loud in my ears:"

"No Whining! No complaining! We are the fortunate ones. We survived when so many better men all around us gave their precious lives. We owe it to them to live every day to its fullest potential and do everything in our power to make this a better world for our having lived and their having died."
