Your relating of the story was so moving. I too am very thankful for all those who put themselves in peril because of their willingness to support MY freedom. I was an Army nurse who served at Walter Reed during Vietnam. I will never be able to forget the guys who came home maimed in mind and/or body. That unpopular war took away the respect and gratitude that those boys deserved. Never should that happen again. I can't imagine your fearful thoughts for your children. Please let them know how greatful we all are. Tell me more about them - who and where they are?
