I used to believe that War was a physical place our soldiers went to fight -- a town consisting solely of a field with hills and trees. So, if someone "went to War," they fought the battle there and returned to their home town when it was over. Little did I know the reality. God bless our men and women defending our country. I am proud of each and every one of them.
