It is so sad to visit my Dad's grave. My Dad died in 1969 at a young age, my brother Gary is buried with my Dad, Dad died at 40, Gary at 20. It is heartbreaking to see all the young VietNam Fallen Heroes buried in the same area, all so young, so sad. Me and my Sis visit often, and we read the tombstones, Pray for All. We try to take an upbeat attitude (between our tears) and always say they all must be having one hell of a party. (We even take a beer and pour it in the ground)----just a weird little ritual that we do. I am so glad to have met you too Snow Bunny :-)
