You can always tell the difference from a man who has to a man who has
never seen the death and destruction of war just by looking in their
eyes. I saw that changed in Scott when he came home, he was altogether
different. When I looked in his eyes and that of his comrades, you
could see in their eyes they had seen some pretty horrible things
there. Eyes are the windows to ones soul.<br>
<br>
What amazes me is how each veteran handles their memories. Unlike
Logan, my dad won't talk about the war (did 2 tours on 'Nam) except the
funny things that happened....like the elephants that walked through
his "perfect land mine field" he spent 3 days laying out....very funny
the way he tells it. Then there are others who join VFW halls and the
such.<br>

Logan always has a hard time with Veterans' Day, since, as he says,
only 3 1/2 guys (including him) from his group survived their trip to
Viet Nam. He generally spends the day reflecting on his lost
teammates, and has a drink in their honor. He is pretty somber (and
usually pretty sober) on Veterans' Day.<font size="2">

<div>Yesterday, I reflected on the thought that I was very grateful
that my daughter made it back from Iraq this year, and that my brother
made it back from Iraq back in 1991.</div>
