I attended the funeral of one of my World War II RAF Bomber Command friends recently and was reminded of a quote by General George Patton (I think) and he said at the funeral of some of his soldiers.

"Do not mourn these men, but just thank God that such men lived"


I comfort myself with that thought on a daily basis.
