It isn't simple, I think, being a rallying point. And it's even more difficult when one is meant to symbolize that which is sacred to a nation at war for her very own identity. And in seventy years, I suppose I've found that we're still learning the lessons that my father's generation faced (and his before that, and so on). So, I find it most disingenuous if we were to simply not recognise those in our midst with shared experiences.
Not only could we perhaps be a support to one another, but also to those whose war experiences are all too fresh in their troubled minds. Therefore, I would like to hold a monthly meeting (the 21st of each month) of veterans of war at
McSorley's Old Ale House. 8:00 o'clock sharp. If you've need of transportation, see me privately and we'll get it arranged.
We'll hold our first meeting on Monday, right after you've quite had your fill of Easter.
[HOWLING COMMANDOS MCU - including Peggy & Howard]And please understand I would hope that you would all attend to not only share your experiences with those who are in varying stages of coming to grips with their war experiences, but to share insight and intelligence regarding the war to come amongst thhose of us with our loyalties aligned.
