First----I must acknowledge that November 1oth is the BIRTHDAY OF THE MARINE CORP. SEMPER FI
If you could have been in the Naval Hospital with me in 1951 --or in Bethesda 4 years ago you would love these tough, wonderful , crazy kids as I do. And I"M USN.
November 11th to me is about EVERY person who put on the military UNIFORM of the USA. As the saying goes EVERY ONE WHO SERVED GAVE SOME, AND SOME GAVE IT THEIR ALL-- But there are many in our military hospitals that continue to give. Believe it or not there are guys with wounds that still weep this long after Korea. Pain daily is a way of life for many. PTSD and mind issues are omni present. I see them at every visit to VAMC Martinsburg, Wv. I am a devoted COWARD--NO LIE, I AM. I cry when I see the old and the young that frequent this place. So please, visit your local VA or Military Hospital and shake hands and say==as I do, God bless you and thank you. I remember!!
