Hi Norm, You and Betty have been on my mind much the last couple of days ... I haven't emailed you for a while (have been very absorbed with my own thoughts or can't think at all ) There will be an email very soon

Seriously though, I have faith and hope for the world that theres a pretty good chance that it WILL survive.

You say my love for my father and other parents who serve, and so on, restores your faith in our generation I'm glad. Our generation, the baby-boomers are now passing over the running of things to our kids, and in spite of all the negative news these days, I have great faith in our kids and their kids to influence and make a whole lot of positive changes in spite of the challenges.

YOU people have restored my own faith in PEOPLE. Something I needed very much ... and I grow in understanding every day just how very, and in so many ways, the Military and its enlisted and Soldiers, ESPECIALLY the Soldiers, are the ones
who do the actual actions that proteect our rights and freedoms, and LIVES.

You all care about this enough to do something about it ... not just your immediate personal little lives. THAT restores my faith more than anything else. Actions speak louder than words.

Boy, have I hung out with the wrong people! :
