I completely understand that Jack's feelings. I was involved with a helicopter pilot stationed in Viet Nam before I met my Jack. I was living in San Francisco and took the bus to work. On the way home one day I had the feeling Greg was right behind me. I could smell his cologne and kept looking back. It was an eerie feeling. That night I got the call that he had been shot down and died. I flew home for the funeral. A 21 gun salute and taps are so sad!!! My heart was cold, and I knew I would never love again. Now I believe it was his spirit behind me saying goodbye. I too shed tears at the DC memorial in front of his name. Like Molly, if Greg hadn't died I might never have met my Jack and had the life we have had together. A sensitive and moving writing, Michael.
Wow, I'm still trying to collect myself here.....There are so many of these monuments to the men and women of this country that served and sacrificed for us, these places so deserve our respect, reflections and reverence . Thank you Michael.
