Jim,
Thank you, and we will...he is soooo young.  But then aren't they all?  I
loka at hubby's reference manuals re Civil War, and watch Private Ryan.
Even the battles going on in the middle east...babies dying...I know, I turn
40 next week...anything under 30 is "baby" to me:)
"Proud Men Going in Harms Way"...to preserve freedom and ultimately Peace
Sincerely
Beth and Clann Gunn
