When I introduced “A Veteran’s Story” over 10 years ago, I did not expect so many stories to come “full circle,” especially a “full circle” story in which yours truly played a small part.
War produces lasting bonds and stories like no other gathering of teammates. Sports, employment, social events, educational institutions, churches, private golf clubs, any number of civilian assemblages produce friends and memories, but war is the glue of unbreakable bonds sealed by survival and suffering, a union without prejudice, and the realization that all races, creeds and colors bleed the same color blood.
