The last one is a really powerful image. His suffering is over but the families has just begun.

You and me both Figbo, after 9/11, I tried to get back in the service, they said I was too old. I tried again the next year, they said: "If you were too old LAST year..... " It was devastating for me. But... I believe things happen for a reason. The Military the men and women are in today is a lot different then the one you and I were in Fig, and as a veteran, I thank them and pray for their safe return home.
