   What really kills me is listening to some of my son's friends.  Awhile back, one of them commented that he liked to visit with his grandfather and listen to him tell stories about being in Vietnam.  Grandfather. Vietnam. It is to weep.....

   MY grandfather was in WWI, and my father in WWII.

   I'm surprised I haven't been getting junk mail from the local retirement homes.....

Eugene O'Keefe, Machine Gunner, Australian Army, France. The Great War.  Suffered throughout his life from the effects of poison gas, but soldiered on to raise a family, make a small fortune in the Tweed River District, and prove the strength of the Aussies isn't all bluster :)
