Hand salute, CPL. Buckles, and thank you.
If you know someone - anyone - who is a veteran of any of history's wars, get their stories. These men and women of all nations have much to say of their experience, but rarely are given a chance to do so. Become their audience, so that their stories can become part of our world history; so that our descendants can learn of the feats, both tremendous and ignoble, done by our own families and friends.
