re: The night the Klan burned a cross in our yard.

God Bless Your Granddaddy. War is hell. My wife had an uncle survived an ambush in Vietnam. He was a truck driver and the Viet Cong ambushed their convoy. All the men he was carrying were killed in the ambush. He hid under the truck and somehow miraculously survived. He spent the rest of his life drinking heavy. I mean heavy.

Met another guy. A former U. S. Army Paratrooper. Was sent in to rescue another unit pinned down by North Vietnam Army Regulars and Viet Cong. All the men in that unit were killed and when he landed they ambushed his unit and killed ALL the men in his unit as well, except him. He was the ONLY one who survived. Spent an entire month evading the Viet Cong looking for him. Lived off what he could get off the bodies of his dead buddies. Amazing how he survived. That's another story....his survival. Had a really bad case of PTSD. As you can imagine.

War is hell. Pray for Peace. I pray your granddad is resting and at peace. Lord knows he deserves it.

Vietnam....what a waste!
