My brother fought the battle of Bier in Germany in the 70's. My grandfather fought in the trenches in France in WW1 - He spent months in the hospital from a mustard gas attack. I, on the other hand, was never in the Service. I salute and thank all who did serve.
Sorry I never met your grandfather. I understand that after being gassed your days were shortened considerably.
You're a good man Liberty Valance. If your grandfather hadn't gone to France we might live in a very different world. If he hadn't made it back we wouldn't have you.
Are you sure we never pistol-whipped HoChiMin? After all, it is one of my favorite stories. LOL!
