I was ready to kill my daughter on Friday- she asked me to go to a breakfast at school with the youngest g-son, and I said it was OK. She didn't tell me it was a "Patriot's" assembly at the school, and would last two hours. But I was among some old friends who had also served during 'Nam and Korea, and a few new guys from Iraq. It's kind of nice to be recognized as a vet, and a reminder of those we knew who didn't make it back. I guess I am most thankful to vets, not so much for their service, but for being allowed to grow up with them. Most of us were green kids. We served while most of our generation grew up getting pretty girls and a college edumacation and the better jobs and assuming they had a right to tell us vets where to go and what to do when we came home. But they never learned the pride and closeness of being part of a team of great guys who did the dirty work and excelled at doing it. Unless they served, they can never feel that sense of being a part of the show. As we now age, being a vet now becomes more of a cherished honor of our youth, and lends to us the fact that the future is bleak should we forget the past.
