Operation Silverlance

40 years ago this comming week

Published on March 2, 2005 By Moderateman In History

AS the 40th anniversery of operation silverlance approaches I cannot help but wonder why am I still alive?

I left behind teammates that in my mind are still children, 18,19 and 20 year old kids, with hearts the size of rhode Island.

I sit here approaching my birthday, and find no reason I am still here.

I see pictures in my head of my old friends, companions, they are forever frozen in time as young, while I am growing very grey, and fat, old and tired.

If anyone cares to read about operation silverlance just type those words in the url bar.

See what things were like for the patriots of a time gone by.

sadly submitted.

Elie...your posts have been very sad lately. Stop dwelling on the past...it obviosly is not a pleasant one. Look ahead to a bright future. You are obviosly close to retirement age, like myself... start planning places to visit, things to do. Count your blessings!

Manopeace, I don't think that Elie is dwelling in the past, I think he is trying to deal with his feelings of the past, trying to sort them all out, as I think we all do as we age. this is stuff he needs to get out and the way he is doing that is with his writtings,
