A thank you for a small thing or a cross word for an even smaller thing. The reality though is that the former is tough for most to give, while the latter takes almost no effort for most.<BR/><BR/>Having fought in the first Gulf War and having met numerous men who landed in Normandy on D-Day (met them at the 50th Anniversary of D-Day while stationed in Germany). I can tell you that most of these folks remember it and the friends they lost like it was yesterday. A simple thank you and a tear for their sacrifice means so much to these warriors, especially when many of their friends died in the same war.<BR/><BR/>A great movie to see the pain of loss and the joy/agony of returning is "When We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson. I HIGHLY recommend it.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296406356240230535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001381954570599068.post-29677235869507218032008-03-17T11:20:00.000-05:002008-03-17T11:20:00.000-05:00Good luck with the adoption.

But well worth the wait.<BR/>And kudos on the listening and ...heartfelt reply to your patient. I find that if i stop, just for a minute, in trying to diagnose a physical ailment, that sometimes eye contact and appreciation helps just as much as "here is your exercise program."GoBigGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733710492405707464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001381954570599068.post-69241191383470194332008-03-17T08:04:00.000-05:002008-03-17T08:04:00.000-05:00We enjoyed the Ken Burns series well.
