If you don't understand or believe, all the explaining in the world won't help. Seeing some of these "kids" (18-20 y/o) Seeing 'em stateside, let alone overseas, ya can't help but help 'em out. Buying 'em dinner, or even just pickin' up their tab at 7-11, or their movie ticket, you get more out out of that few bucks in "feel goodness" than anything else I can think of. Unless you've "been there", you don't know how lonely it can be, wondering if anyone even remembers you're gone. Don't mean to get all sappy on ya, but without them....................Anyway, as you were........
Semper Fi!
