Speaking for the treadheads, we had our fair share of cuts, sprains and bruises; "tanker candy" was a constant friend.
And as the various memorial days came by, and I walk down the long lines of white headstones and see so many men and women, most of whom never lived to see their 25th birthday.
Dear God we have lost so many of our best and brightest, who paid the highest price.
May we who survive, never forget.
