17. I'm with you, too, Judi.

I was a kid when this stuff went on, but it is burned into my memory. My Dad took me to the funeral of a soldier who was killed in Vietnam, early on, and it sure sticks in my mind, the whole story I was told, and this brave young man. I think I was 10, but I learned from that, and had a heated discussion with my cousin, a graduate of West Point, about the wisdom of "shock and awe." I was horrified; he supported hios Army buddies. We now both agree, and have made the unavoidable references to Vietnam. You're right. Peace now.
