At Sunset today I shall sit by the fire...looking at the going down of the Sun....with a fine Whisky in hand....and think of times past and the many who served...and those I served with who have gone ahead of me.
This year shall be different as I will be going to the Army-Navy Football Game and will take a special moment at the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC.
I have forty-four names to visit with....and remember....and see those smiles, hear the laughter, the special moments we shared, and ponder what might have been for them.
As well as the Men themselves I will also keep their loved ones who suffered such a loss close to my Heart as well.
War is a terrible thing....it levies such a terrible cost on us all.
