When Katharine Phillips was talking about her neighborhood and the veterans who lived there it reminded me of my old neighborhood growing up. Of course, I didn't realize until much later after I had not lived there for many years that I was surrounded by them.
I saw the husbands of two widowed ladies who lived on my street a couple years ago in a book of West Virginia patriots. They had passed away before I was born, I don't know the particulars, but whew!! were they handsome soldiers!
Mr. Todorovich, My grandpa, his best friend Gill, it goes on and on. And it continued with a boy up the street in the Marines, serving in Beruit, next door neighbor a West Point graduate currently employed at the Pentagon, my cousins one Army Gulf War Vet and the other in the Air Force.
I told my mom when we were watching this that it really makes you look at people like our uncle Tom, our friend Walter, and my grouchy grandpa a little differently, doesn't it?
