Bet one and all had PTSD to one extent or another, too. And yet....they moved on the best they could and got on with their lives.

Think of the hundreds of thousands who had their lives necessarily interrupted so that we and our nation might be here today,

Now think of those who wish to replace (rather than straighten out) that system which has served us pretty well....and those who died fof it so it could continue to do so for their children, grandchildren, etc.

5 uncles and 4 aunts in WW2. 2 Uncles died at the base of the cliffs 
at Les Falaises, one uncle survived having three ships sunk under him 
on three voyages on the Murmansk run. 2 Uncles went all the way from 
El Alamein to Berlin.

13 of my European relatives came back with the tattooed number on 
their arms, 1 cousin survived Mengele but was paralyzed forl life. 
All the rest of my relatives went to the ovens,

If it wasn't for the thousands that gave their lives that year I too 
would probably have gone to the ovens

In England today is called "Rememberance Day"

I remember and am very grateful to them all..
