Over the years four veterans that called themselves "Brothers from another Mother" had remained just that.They always kept in touch and though miles separated them,they were able to get together several times .Four years ago,Tom passed away 2 months before they were to meet at our home in VA.
It was decided the closest to Texas would attend the funeral representing all 3 brothers..and besides that, being the youngest,he was the fittest.Remember,years have passed and they realized each time they lay eyes on each other is a blessing.The reunion should not be postponed.

What a joy it was for me,and our grown kids to
gather round this loving group .They spent 3 glorious days together.After the first day we left
them alone, to sit around the Dining table sharing memories and photos.I cooked,served and quietly observed as they joined hands in prayer, remembering the 'other brother'.
Twenty months later Dick died,he was the oldest.
Ed,'the kid' attended because Richard,my hubby,
legs don't hold up for lengthy travel,like they once did.
The two boys,brothers,just got off the phone.The call that's made on Veterans Day.
I've heard their promise to each other.The families know and you can surmise.
I want those who come here with hate in their hearts to know that this is how our veterans love each other.It transcends politics,race and religion.

"We few,we happy few,we band of brothers;"
...W.Shakespeare
