Robert Lee Aday

I visited the Vietnam Wall this morning.
I looked up George's brother...I found
he was born March 30, 1950. His home
town was Bakersfield, CA. He died
Oct. 24, 1969. Siggie and Robert Aday
have the same birthday.

He was young and far from home when
he died. Soldiers today will die young and
far from home. Old men decide to go to war
and young men die. If the old men had to go
to war we would not have any.

Sister, was that one of those moving walls?

I've often thought that Rumsfield should have been the first to go to "his" war, along with Cheney. Would they have gone, do you think, if old men had to go?

I think if the old men had to go...there would be no war.

There's a thought, send old men.
I pray everyday for our Troops and that they'll come home soon.

I came over to see your meal but I guess I'll have to come back later for some leftovers.
