You gentlemen humble this former trooper. I re-read this today after its dormancy of many months. Frankly, those long ago experiences on the other side of the world, in some ways, seem almost like yesterday. A quick glance in the mirror bring me back to reality! I realize how fortunate I've been in my associations with people of worth. They influenced me and I've tried to earn their respect by never letting my fellow soldiers down. There is no greater honor than to walk among them today.

Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen.

Mike
