Memorial Day! No time for shopping Just remembering those who were at my left and my right! exiting the plane in Ton Son Nhut air base. Gazing to the left to see a stack of coffins being prepared to return home! Gazing to my right to see a convoy of ambulances with the wounded being prepared to be evacuated.
Dallas, who picked up a booby trapped toy! rest in peace!
Not only those who died but those whose lives were marred from their time in combat.
My Uncle Willie, who survived WW II was at D Day and liberated a death camp, who found it difficult to love.
My paternal grandfather who was "shell shocked" in WWI who found it difficult to communicate.
