I wonder what they witnessed as young men. I'm sure they feel lucky to be alive, but I also wonder what comes with that.
Do they feel guilty that their friends died in battle and they didn't? Do they wonder how different their life may have been had they not been soldiers? Do they wonder if it was worth it, does anyone even care or remember?
We do! Thank you so much to all that have served, to those who sacrificed their lives and to those who sacrificed their time, energy, and boyhood.
We will NOT forget and will always honor you.

Here here! Well said. I second that.
well said!!
My father-in-law passed away at age 83. He was a successful businessman, active church member, hospital volunteer...etc. But, the one thing he couldn't do easily was talk about his days in the war.
When S3 tried to pry info out of him for a school project, my FIL told him it was not glamorous and he would rather not discuss it.
I always wondered what the war left him with...or without.
