I can imagine that they created many of these drawings with tears in their eyes.<BR/><BR/>Shirley - I think in this instance, it can't be captured in words.

It says it all by itself. :-)<BR/><BR/>Heidi - I know I'll never fully comprehend what these men went through, but I hope I can at least scratch the surface and try to reveal some of their pain to give us all a better understanding of their sacrifices. :-)Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-38556989975705875682008-09-14T21:28:00.000-06:002008-09-14T21:28:00.000-06:00I so admire you for delving into this area.
