    Artful, I saw a memorial of a soldier walking into a wall. It is a memorial to all the soldiers that have died as a result of their service in SE Asia but are not included on the wall. Got a lot of friends on both.

    Prayers that our Heavenly Father ease his suffering, God bless you and him.

    Veteran myself and say a quiet little personal prayer every time I see a veteran. I was in 11 yrs ('86-'97/Army) and by the grace of God never put in harms way. I was VERY fortunate. Your friend is on my list.

    Thank you all so very much. Spent some time today with him about 4 or 5 hours. We are trying to take care of some final things. Tomorrow we will talk with the detail clerk in the VA. He is taking it stoically. Not much fun but, necessary. Time is short days maybe a week or so. Only He knows. Will spend the day tomorrow with him and Saturday as well. I feel bad I cant do more. It is a six hour drive each way. My boss has been real good about my time away. Thanks again.

    Prayers and endless gratitude to those who served and continue to serve and their families who also sacrifice so much.

    Some of our brothers were killed over there and some were killed there, but just didn't know it at the time. They thought they made it out alive, only to find out nearly 50 years later that they had died over there.

    In this sad world of ours.
    Sorrow comes to all.
    It comes with bitterest agony.
    Perfect relief is not possible.
    Except with time.
    You can not now realize that you will ever feel better.
    Is not this so?
    And yet it is a mistake.
    You are sure to be happy again.
    To know this, which is certainly true.
    Will make you some less miserable now.
    I have had experience enough to know what I say.
