Thank you for sharing with us. This is Armistice Day, which celebrated the end of World War I. It was really believed there would be no more wars to follow but that was not to be. For people who have been fighting since the beginning of man they wouldn't know what to do if there were no more wars and people to kill. It has truly become a way of life, a terribly sad one. Bless you, John, and all of us who have lost good people to terrible causes. Amen.
