This is something I signed up to receive tweets on. The article is priceless. The gal who wrote it feels awe when considering what a Vet from the other wars went through. I have more admiration for my father’s wars of WW2, Korea and Vietnam, too. We shared the last one but I feel he was in greater danger in spite of what I went through. An interesting read.
