Bless these two men.. crazy how things happen. Brings me hope. They sat and had a beer together. Wow. Rest in peace to every soldier who had ever faught not only just for us in America but all over. It takes alot to stand up when your country needs you. I hope something i never have to experience. Anybody. Period. Powerful stuff.
