Memories force you to care. There isn't a single day day in 60 years that I
haven't thought about the war. Maybe for just an instant, a flash of memory
that keeps repeating. But the memories are always there And will never go
away.
Those who have no memories weren't there.

Art, this is a good example of what we've been trying to tell
you. What earthly good is that last sentence of yours there?...It
serves only to irritate...

To place yourself somehow 'above' us unwashed peasants.

Much better to have left it out, much better. Can't you see
that?.

My point was the persistance of memory, nothing else.

Not a chance...you were pointing out that 'others' weren't there
(to their detriment), as if they were at fault somehow, you're
reasonably good with words, you have to see that's how it comes
across. And you knew that when you typed it too, I haven't the
slightest doubt.

I am not responsible for
the sensitivity of thoise who were not there. And I refuse to write my thoughts
based on political correctness. If there are those who are senssitive about not
having served, that in no way concerns me.

You see?, two references to people not 'being there'. Hell's
bells, was the 344 th the only war fighting unit in the war?
