MARK,

Thank you ... (is this what you also just sent me as an attachment that I can't open as yet? )

And absolutely "No ... I don't mind at all." This story is an MLU group participaction thing ... it belongs in here as in a way, it's at home. WW2 Soldiers and soldiering is what MLU is all about and none of my Uncle's story would be known probably if I hadn't found my way into MLU

Now ... I'll get back to you and may even have a question or two for anyone to try and answer for me

BTW ... Uncle Eddie tried to enlist a few months prior to his acceptance and he was rejected (if you'll remember my mentioning it) for "sugar". We have many diabetics in our family.

Have to run for now... and thanks a lot Mark ... I really appreciate how you put everything so chronilogical simply for me , even if I don't understand the meanings of lots still.

I'll be back

Karmen
