Hi guys , Might I chime in here , I have / had family in the Wars ,
I lost an uncle on Guadalcanal , another one on Porkchop Hill and my
brother served two hitchs in Nam , He has never been ' right ' since coming
home , something about a morter round getting his buddy in their hootch ,
But why is it we only seem to remember to ' bad ' stuff ,
Do any of you remember your first night with your new spouse , Watching
the Sun come up to greet a new life together , the birth of your first
child , The continuation of life ! , The reason so many of us stuggle
thru our research , To give meaning to our existance on this planet
..........., Phil
