Mark.
Well. My effusive gushing is endless, isn't it? Oh well, you-all can just "suck it up"

... I will NOT control myself
What strikes me so much about this trip to visit and honour my Uncle, is knowing that since I joined MLU that March of 2003 ... you have contributed SO much knowldge and awareness in all of our minds, not only of my Uncle's experiences, but of all the men involved, and all the events, meanings of so many things of that time period, that war ... and on and on ...
I imagine Geoff, Sunray Minor, and Hanno (anyone else?) walking through Beny Sur Mer and viewing the gravesites of all the people at rest there ... with a much fuller and profound awareness. A fuller experience of realities.
That ... is what you have contributed. The bigger picture. The bigger knowledge and awareness experience as our MLU people walked and looked ... Love
Your contributions to MLU educate us all Mark ... as all peoples posts in here do, but you are a vital contributor of knowledge that stretches all our minds to hold more of the bigger pictures when we look at things.
Please don't stop enlightening in here ... and don't stop with the humor either you hairy beast
... Love Karmen
