    A war we never understood then, and only a little now.
    Thanks for sharing.
    HELL, those of that were there didn't understand it.

    Tell your Dad THANKS from a Texas yank.

    FYI, PTSD sux the large one.

    I expect your Dad has it. It's not his fault. Love him in spite of it, because it hurts him far worse than it does those around him and I KNOW it can hurt those around.

    Thanks for the kind words Wulie
    I'm sure PTSD is a daily part of my Dads life
    Like so many of his generation he will only open up about this to people who were there
    I guess that's life

    An old favourite of mine. I used to sit at Dad's feet while we listened to this song (amongst many others).
