Sam,today reminds me that, I spent four months short of four years during two separate wars( pardon me, I think wars is too strong a word,in the last one all the people killed were in a POLICE ACTION) in the service. Navy and army. I still enjoy the Christmas Holidays and celebration of the birth of Jesus,but because bad memories it is saddened, somewhat by a memory of those who will never know another birthday because of political folly.'''''''''''''" Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead are hardly more than boys(Author unknown). I wish armistice day were a week or so after Christmas.. Jack P.
