Very touching, War, I got chills,even. My ptsd came from same time frame, and I still find it hard not to envy the ones who were killed. I was the one the heavens kept shoving back into a frail body. (I'll get even with them some day, lol)
I say I'm still waiting for a wwII frame of mind, but slowly calmer waters seem to sneak up on me.
You have traveled steps so many who never ever take, but in a way you took them for them too.
We are our own paths, and not all lead forward, thank goodness your's did.
Ignorance is bliss, wanna bottle the stuff and throw a huge party.
By the way, I say happy veterans day to any vet I meet and all thru out the year. Blessings,,,,,,,,
