My Fathers Colonel, is over 90. We called him uncle Dan.
The memories I have of these two sitting around talking about history,
was better than any textbook.
I had the very real sense and flavor of it all.
My father sat in the alert shacks during the Cuban Missile Crisis, playing
cribbage, he was a navigator on the re-fueling jets.
I too, believe it was a solid reason.
I would of been superb in the French resistence.
Maybe that is the angsty feeling people have these days,
what is a true clear-cut purpose anymore?
Thanks Ustwo.
What Crompsin said is Very so true and bittersweetly deep.
