Today is May 3rd, as I sit as an old guy in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a contractor. I watch the young men and women move about the city in armored vehicle that are strange to to me--a different war. I remember as a young man watching LZ Betty explode on this date, and hope that none of them ever have to live the rest of their lives remembering any of their friends the way many of us remember ours past comrades--I pray they all have a chance to live their lives to the fullest without feelings of sadness. Please remember all of those who died on this date, and all of those whose names are on the wall...be assured, the men and women fighting this war are the best of the best...Dave Hess
