God Bless and thank you, all.

Aloha Little Devil, Steely eyed Downeaster, Guardian of the Wall!

I don't know if I'll ever get back there to visit the Wall....don't know what I'd think or do on a first visit, searching for names and feeling overwhelmed. Something unmanly, I'm sure.

In country and in the air, we were stoic, resolved and reserved, but not after wards....not when we went home and others didn't. There was a shock at home coming and face to face with those who never knew duty, sacrifice or loss while protesting against those that served.

I grew a new shell for years but tears came back when my father (MMC, USN, retired) passed away. There are cracks in my shell now.
