Thank you for remembering, Plymouth34!
No thanks needed. It was my dad in the 50's who taught me the importance of remembering those who have passed. Remembering those who served in the military is something that became personal during the Vietnam conflict.

For those who have posted, especially Plymouth34 and Canon Cocker: Thank you you for your clarification and clearly sincere comments. I have never been in a combat situation, and thus cannot know as you do what it would be like. However, one does not have to undergo that trauma to understand that war is terrible. I think it was Bob Dylan who asked, "When will they ever learn?", and Plato who, over twenty centuries ago wrote that, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." I continue to hope, along with many others, that Plato was, at last wrong. [Well, Plymouth24, I wonder how you guessed that I'm a professor---now retired.]

Members of my family have served in the Military since WW1 the only reason my son did not serve is because he is Ashmatic but hi daughter is in the Aur Force. So within my very immediate family we have
Me-Army
Hubby-Navy attached to the Marines
Granddughet-Air Force
I guess if son could have gone he could have Coast Guard then we have been all branches. LOL

Hi Ed,
I could not agree with you more. Living in a world of pace would would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, there are people in this world who don't have the same hopes and dreams that we do. The reality is that there will always be fighting somewhere. History has proved this to be true.
How did I know that you were a retired professor? No I am not a clairvoyant. I read your bio...... Biology professor - retired. lol
