As a Vietnam ...Thank you for sharing that, Trevor. As a Vietnam veteran, I have felt myself more responsive to the sentiments of our Veterans Day (your, and formerly our, Armistice Day) and Memorial Day (your Remembrance Sunday, although ours is in May)- than in my younger life. Although not having made any personal sacrifice other than time and separation in my war, I am greatly moved by what many of my contemporaries, and those in other wars, have endured. The emotions still come strongly and unexpectedly at times - as in viewing a recent television documentary of a young mom with small children whose young husband did not return from Iraq. Her strength through tragedy, for her children's sake, was so impressive and moving. <BR/><BR/>I believe it is a good thing for the mature among us to react strongly to such sacrifices and to not take them lightly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
