06 May 2007 My childhood memories are mostly gone now. We get older and try and remember. The thing that hurts most is that you never had a chance to go through that. Your life was cut short over there. I am able to grow older and have the experiences that life gives me. Feel the joys and pains that come with it. A couple of friends and I were talking abut the bow and arrow fight we had. It suddenly stopped when someone was hit in the mouth with an arrow. You were not able to say how well you did making your own bow and arrow. I wish to thank you for the ultimate sacrifice that you made for me and your Country.
