July 30, 2011


What wars have been fought during your lifetime?
One major war was ended just days before my birth. The Koren War was ended on July 27, 1953 just before I was born on Aug 13, 1953. I mention this as one of the wars since I have very vivid memories of two Uncles that fought in that war and one of whom lost his legs in it.
The other major wars and I say major because if you were to count all the wars going on in the world during my life there have been hundreds. However the United States has been mostly involved in the Viet Nam war, Iraq and Pakistan wars. These are wars where I have been most effected by either brothers, cousins, or friends that have fought in those wars. One of my cousins was killed in the Viet Nam war. I have been grateful to those who have served and yet thankful that I have not had to be there.
