Today there are 1,626 American service members that are still unaccounted for from the Vietnam War.

My hope is that we as a nation never forget.

Teaching, packing, making phone calls,

And comforting kids when i tell them I’m leaving.

It’s like attending 5-6 Greek Tragedies every day.

Good evening, Pro, and glad you are safely home.

Mom has had a rough couple days with the knees locking up. We have not had fun.
