Post; ...Wasted On the Youth!


A FRIEND OF MINE, an Army officer, was awarded the Silver Star. When he and his wife arrived home after the ceremony, their children were watching the Olympics on television. He showed them the Silver Star and explained why he had received it. "That's great, Dad," his son said. "Who got the gold?"

That's cute and a little sad at the same time. I think Henderson's right. He couldn't have been that old to not realize the significance.
