It is very nice to read a story about veterans that come with a happy ending, although not a perfect one for this medic as memories still haunt him, an excellent read and tribute, very well done****kahpot

Hi! Thank you. Have a great weekend :)
Comment from Darlene Franklin
My son wanted to serve, and I said a resounding no. I now feel guilty. My reasons were he had just married, and trying to provide. I was like, the time for the army was before marriage. But still. I wasn't willing to sacrifice, so well done to those who do!

Hi Darlene! Marriage can be before, during or after military service. I think the only major requirement is that you must be 32 years old or under to enlist. Check with your local recruitment office for more details. You're nice. Thank you :)

Well, he's now 39. This was 10-12 years ago.
Comment from Ogden
I'm sure you speak for many thousands, (perhaps even millions!) of veterans, living and dead. And countless numbers of us who never have served in the military. Thank you for representing us all!

Hi Don! I am not a veteran either. I tried to write vague. You're nice. Thank you. Have a great weekend :)
