In my youth, there was a girl who kept getting into trouble. Nice girl, actually. My dad, vet of two wars, sat me down one evening and asked if I would befriend the girl. My dad knew her dad. Her dad was a Bataan Death March survivor. Her mother was very ill. And so I did befriend her.

Clint Eastwood might consider doing a film one day about how the troops support each other even after wars. And so do their children.

There's an untold story here, which to date, has only been covered by such one-sided films as "Coming Home". That film made me so angry due its one-sidedness.

It's not just in Veteran Halls where and how our vets and their families are cared for, watched over.

That's a very nice story. Your dad is a good guy.
