    When I see rows of grave markers from both world wars in Europe and the Pacific I feel so humbled.

    I am fortunate enough never to have fought in a war, my father did, my uncles did and some of my cousins fought in WW II. They and those thousands saved the world and made it possible for me not to fight in a war.

    Thank You.

    I'm hearing you Tiger and sometimes I wonder just how much we learn from history.

    There's an old saying that those who do learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
