Thinking about Gramps today. He fought his way into the Army - He was too old and had too much family for them to take him initially, but he knew that he must go.  He went to North Africa, and then on to Italy and up “The Boot.” He lead men who fixed things, a company of mechanics.

I miss him. This country misses common men of uncommon character. He left this world several years ago. I was in Korea, working at being ready to defend the weak from the oppressor, and ready to march to the sound of guns.

The human spirit longs for liberty, and in this world, that liberty is occasionally secured by men and women who are ready and willing to run into a fight, to defend what is good and right and true. To be truly human is to be ready to give greatly of yourself in the defense and liberation of another.
