The hotdogs tasted great. *******4* aPPY - Birthday students in university might remember grandparents who were in the war but died later. Maybe they think of veterans who are still living today but are in hospitals for the rest of their lives, paralysed and unable to do anything they used to before the war. Maybe you think of a neigh- beuror friends of yours that is ',very healthy and very much alive who served in the war. But, yet, down. deep, that person too, has many bad InenierieS of the war and deaths .and -killing that sur- itittrnted them. is 'sad enough to read in the paper of the deaths of the area. but to read the names of the young' people lost at war would be much-worse. We often read and hear of stories about young boyS called to fight in the war and the pain their families felt when they left. And then the mourning they did when their son never came back again. It happened over and over again. A frightened mother, in her early fifties, alone in the house_ waiting for her husband and son to return from the war, She would be • afraid to answer the door. When someone knocked, for fear of hearing bad news. She d have her son's photo on the mantle of the fire place and her wedding band around her finer and she would pray each day the two men she loved so much would return when the war was over. ' She would remember the time when they were asked to fight in the war and the determination in hdr young son's eyes when he talked of winning the war and return- ing home again, But each day would pass and still no word and. she would stay in her house, cooking for one person instead of three. The beds wouldbe kept clean and neat, ready for the day when her family would return home exhausted, ready to' crawl into them for a good night's sleep. But they remained empty. Until -one day •she-fmally- got word. Her son had been shot. He would robably live but his leg had putrit- ed.. He would never 'c the same again. He used to love football and play catch with his father and could run so Well, but now he would probably --never -run again. However, she was just thank- ful that he was alive., "God has been listening." she thought. When the war was over her husband would come home. They'd visit their son in the hospital and soon they'd be a family together again. This is a mild case of how families were affected during and after the war, although it isn't a true story. A few years ago, when was still in elementary school our school choir went to the Westminster Hospital in Lon- don to sing old army songs-to the veterans. We sang songs they'd remember and enjoy. and perhaps kiln in: with OS. They really did enjoy our singing. -Severalof then sang along with gave u** chunos to do something' for men who Once did a, big. favour for as: Tbq so rat About our visit was were exPased to alot of cases many. of us didn't mare even existed.
