Pete, Next time you visit tell him "Thanks" for Danny and I. Back when I was in 7th or 8th grade one of my buddies fathers was a waist gunner on a B-17. The stories he told of coming back shot up and all the brass they used to shovel out of those aircraft would make your hair stand up! Men of iron nerves....

My dear friend Louie back in the day was the QB for Villanova, he said that a marine recruiter came in, gave such an up lifting speech he had to join the cor. 7 months later landed him in Monkey Hill, he loved it. 25 years my senior but he is an avid waterfowler. So when the leaves start to change it's all about keeping guys from going in front of the judge. He explained to me before he went to Vietnam all he hunted with was an old Fox but when he got back all he shoots are autos.

I watched the movie last night "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson after reading Hal Moore's book " We Were Soldiers Once And Young". It blew me away and I highly recommend it. The intensity of combat and the reliance of each soldier upon each other was clearly demonstrated. With every young man in combat there is a family back home that cares. For those that did not make it home there is a void that never can be filled. R.E. Lee put it in perspective when he said: "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we become to fond of it." To all of our Fallen Heroes as well as those who survived let us say "Thank You For Your Service."
