My generation went to war in Vietnam, 58,000 of my brothers and sisters have had their names inscribed on a black granite wall. As sad as that is another 140,000 of my generation have perished as a result of Agent Orange Exposure and Suicide due to PTSD. What did we gain?
Will I see a peaceful world in my lifetime, I doubt it, but I have two fine young grandsons, please do not let them go where I have been, please do not let them see what I saw…..
If you click on the hammer it will take you to a beautiful post by her highness, Mimi Lenox, today is the day, fly your Peace Globe

Amen! May we leave a better world for our grandchildren! At least we can change ourselves into becoming more peaceful people, and that will change the world.
Peace today and everyday
The peace of Christ to you and yours.
Well said. Wishing everyone a future of peace.
Peace is in our hearts Charlie. With me and you and others having peace in our hearts, the world will someday have that peace we are looking forward to.

There's hope as long as we are able to find inspiration for peace... beautiful globe, Sarge!
A dream of peace in our time may not be so far off reality...when one lives in South Africa, one believes that miracles of peace are very real!

Excellant Peace Globe, Sarge.

My uncle, a proud Viet Nam vet, died a year ago this month at the age of 69 after suffering from Parkinson's for many years. I believe Agent Orange exacerbated his genetic predisposition to this horrible disease. I only wish peace had come in time to spare him. Thank you for mentioning the veterans in this space.
Beautiful Post!
You and Miss Bee have a terrific day Sarge.

Best wishes to you and yours for peace today and in all the days to come.
Great peace globe and I love your use of Mimi's Papa's hammer to link to her site. Peace be with you today and every day.
Beautiful peace globe! And let's do our best every day to show others what peace is. Maybe then we see the beginning of peace in our lifetime and will our grandchildren see a totally peaceful world one day!
Peace to you and your loved ones today, tomorrow and every day after then.

Peace to you and yours today...and always.
"It is not enough that we learn to unmake war.
We must learn to remake peace."
I love you Sarge and thank you for your service to our country.

I echo your wish. For my own children, for the grandchildren someday to follow. For all the children.
I wish you peace, today and every day.
Oh I, too, hope your grandsons and mine will never find themselves in the hell of war. No one knows better than you do what war is like. Peace to you and yours.
Each year I have the privilege of visiting your peace post and saying one more time, "Thank you for your service to my country."
That is first and foremost. This is a post with a powerful message. Perhaps you understand more than most the necessity of peace for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you for the sacrifices you and Miss Bee made on behalf of all of us. Peace to you today and always.
Mimi
P.S. You can borrow my hammer....if you bring it back. (smile)
Your post is, as ever, the truth...how can we wish the troubles of our times on our children and grandchildren?!
