My Great Uncle was a WW1 veteran

16. Final thoughts

I thought if I wrote about this - got it off my chest, it might be cathartic.
It just stirred it all up. Like any loss, I just have to accept living with it.

When you consider those who have lost a sibling, a parent or a child, what I experienced seems like almost nothing compared to their loss. I think the Vietnam Memorial remains the saddest place I have ever visited. I hope my post didn't bother those who suffered a greater loss.
