Here I am at the edge

 The Falklands War The Falklands War is long over (41 years), and yet, some of recall it well.  I was going out wth a young lady who lived in Clevedon , North Somerset , at the time.  I was not out of my 3-year reserve when the war was declared; so there was a slight possibility I could be called up. When t was clear I was not going to be called up, she left me - coincidence - as Leroy Jethro Gibbs would say "I don't believe in coincidences."

 Vets Remembered When people talk of vets, you rhink of WW1 , and WW2 , in the case of British wars, soon there will be nobody alive who fought in Malaya , Kenya , or Korea .  It is sad to think, there will always be wars, and people to remember the fallen; I keep recalling the words of a mother who said "Too many young men, have died fighting wars for old men." It is hard to imagine, but the Falklands War was 42 years ago. Tomorrow is my anniversary - I enlisted in the Royal Air Force 49 years ago.
