The older I get I see I see my Army friends die off to various aliments or suicide and you wonder...."Why You..and not them?" I wonder that sometimes...what makes me better than my friends that I survive and they don't. Funny conundrum I suppose. All I can do is leave it to the big guy upstairs that he ain't done with me yet. Yeah I miss my friends and one day we will meet again in Fiddlers green or Valhalla or wherever we end up.

The folks we meet, our family, people we read about that we admire and respect all make up a thread or three of the blanket. Then, as time unrolls, they leave, and the blanket gets thinner. Those who leave in the course of protecting and serving their buddies, their families and their countries.... who died extending the hand of Liberty to the enslaved, are thick threads and are woven deeply into the fabric of those who are of like mind. Their loss, then, is a great loss. And we feel it.... more than most.<br /><br />To remember and miss those great ones, is to honor them. And boy, is it dusty in here...STxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-2727724474192989932019-05-24T05:03:05.520-07:002019-05-24T05:03:05.520-07:00A tough one to put together, allergies were really...A tough one to put together, allergies were really acting up.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.com
