Default The only absolute in life

is that one day you will die.
We as VN vets are beginning to understand what the WW2 guys have been going through for 20 years or so.
You go into the US military as a bullet Prof 18 year old and by the grace of whatever GOD you believe in you come home. You first not talk about it, then you find others that had the same experience and you start talking about it to those that did the same as you, "hears to us and those like us" You hear that others before you are dieing at an alarming rate and there reunions are getting smaller, Your reunion however is in the thousands.
Then one day one of yours is on his death bed, WTF, this can't be happening to us, were not old, they are. And then more of your comrades show up in the back page of the news paper, and you realize that your group is now the old guys and the new group is having there thousand person reunions.
It's sad, But, OLD soldiers do die.
