Colin -
I know you of all people would understand this, but sometimes I don't want to make a new friend. What, everyone is saying??? It's just that sometimes I'm scared to become friends with a WWII vet, only knowing that our time together is very short. I guess you can equate that with an army squadron, who get a replacement in their unit, while fighting a war. They don't even want to make friends with the guy, for they realize that within hours or days, the guy will probably not make it, so they try and harden their hearts.
Of COURSE I do want to keep being introduced to veterans, but it just keeps getting more difficult for me. I guess it's a "job hazard", and one you have to accept...
