Its a damn sight healthier than what popular culture has to offer these days. What your son sees in these vets is wisdom, knowledge, honor and understanding. I wish more young folks would be interested to spend time with those that stood guard over our country. Perhaps it would do some good.

Many have taken issue with my comment thinking I was referring to spending time with other ages. It is not the multiple age part I was referring to. It was the alienation between the family and the vets. I have talked to some vets and they have concurred that I am on the right track. The path to healing and coping with war experiences is through the natural family they had before military duty.
