Short and Sweet. I can't imagine being a Veteran of a war at 22 years old.
I was at 19. 22 seems old...
At church on Sunday our pastor honored all veterans, asking first the WWII to stand. He then asked the rest to stand. As I came to my feet I saw the two young men directly behind me also stand. Neither hardly looked old enough to shave, yet there they were standing with the rest of us and looking as proud as can be.
