| "...and one by one the old warriors come. Pilgrims, drifting across the land they fought to preserve. Greetings echo across the lobby. Hands reach out and arms draw buddies close. On a table spreads of old photographs, a test of recollection. Talks turn to war...and...planes...and foreign lands. Stories are told, then told again. No matter how often...each time I see them - it almost moves me to tears." Elise Rawlings, October 2004 | |
