My Uncle Jimmy emigrated from Ireland and joined the Army when he arrived. He fought through Europe and passed last year. His grandson Brian is a 1st Lt in the USMC in Iraq.

My Uncle always a gleam in his eye, a brogue on his tongue and an impish smile when pulling a leg. I am sure he is smiling down on Brian right now.

Smiling? I'm sure there's a star beaming down on him.

My own Uncle Pat was in the Congo on a UN peace keeping mission in the 1960's. I hadn't seen him for a couple of months, but he called and visited recently..I asked him (In view of his UN service) what he thought of the action against Iraq.

He said..'I'm all for it. No point in pussy-footing around bastards like Saddam Hussein'.
