Chaplain (Capt.) Emil Kapaun, Oct. 7, 1950 |
We are all somewhere, somehow connected to a soldier. This connection, male and female, may be within our ancestry, experienced first hand, or via a friend, friend of a friend, or family member. It is a commitment, to country, to self. It brings honor, instills pride, separates families across continents and oceans. Lives are changed forever. Within that period of separation resides visions of coming home. Some make it. Some don't. Those who don't leave families behind. Those that do are never the same...
Next time you see a soldier, he may have just come home! But, unlike the song, he is one who made it back.
You're so right on with this. I have one grandson in the Navy and one just joined the Marines--I am worried sick withnthe Korean mess and pray daily for them both. You just never know what a young unexperienced North Korean leader--as hateful as his father might be capable of doing, not to mention the middle east. I feel like we're setting on a Keg waiting to blow any day now.
ReplyDeleteMicki, thank you for your comments. It is always so wonderful when you visit :-) The Keg is in place!
DeleteInteresting, the "Nevermore to be alone..." I was never less alone that when I was in the Army.
