there are many vets on this forum. I am sure someone will be there for him.

I was watching TV recently, and they were reviewing some battle in WWII in Belgium, towards the end of the war. An American soldier was recalling his time there. He related how he had put his head up ver a railroad embankment, and was shot in the head by some German sniper. He lived, but he said the last thing he was ever to see was the green fields in front of him.

I saw yesterday a photo of about 6 marines kneeling in prayer over a slain solder, lying on the ground by a vehicle. It brought tears to my eyes.

The sacrifices of our young soldiers in training and combat is something that i respect and is why i fly my flag every day.
