John Pusa - I have a lot to be thankful for. My Grandfather enlisted on 1917 - World War 1. I am so glad I got to enjoy him enough to remember him. He was a kind and gentle man.

I also married a man who served in Vietnam in the Army. Did you get to see the celebrations for the Army's Birthday on T.V. that took place in Washington, D. C.? It was the best celebration in D.C. I ever saw. All those songs came back to me. It was an honorable occasion.
