You guys are morbid. How about the first time you open a bag with a new leather holster in it? Or the woods when it's been too long since you've been in them? Or a beautiful woman? A fresh Christmas tree. Thanksgiving dinner cooking.
No they aren't morbid. Thank God I didn't have to experience what they did. My Dad did, he would be 86 this coming January if he hadn't passed away in 1994. He too saw the horrors of war in Korea and Vietnam. It was all over by the time I came of age but I remember him struggling with some of the memories ans things that brought them back. These are things you cannot help.
For me many of the thing mentioned above bring back memories some of which are pleasant and some not.
A Happy Thanksgiving to you all. And a special thanks to those of you who served like my Dad did.
