I lost my best to war. There isn't a day I don't think of him. In fact today is the anniversary of his death. Agent orange... sam

The horrors of war...
Endured by brave men, some who gave everything they had, cannot even be imagined by those lucky enough never to have lived through it. My father-in-law was captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge and told of fighting for the potatos with grubs in them, it was as close to meat as they got.

Excellent write Malcolm. We should do exactly as you suggest. Today is rather rainy and gloomy with quite typical weather for Armistice day.It adds to the gravity of remembering .
