He chose between military and non military, but he gave one year before Univ. to his native land in service. GOOD IDEA. I prefer the way of peace, personally, however service is a part of peaceful living on Earth. Thanks for your life!! msg :-)MaryShieldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-15915750155942610042009-05-04T12:44:00.000-07:002009-05-04T12:44:00.000-07:00I agree--everyone do two years in the military lik...I agree--everyone do two years in the military like they do in Israel.segnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-8601810790130680462009-04-30T11:13:00.000-07:002009-04-30T11:13:00.000-07:00Tim,

Of course, I remember what the great sports columnist Red Smith said about writing: "Writing is easy. All you have to do is open a vein and bleed." And as someone who does it for a living, I completely understand that comment. Keep the blog coming. It's a wonderful inspiration, and it's a wonderful narrative of one soldier's perspective on the troops' life in Iraq--and makes me appreciate their service even more.<br /><br />MaryMary Coadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334484838624372471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-63705511248801402302009-04-29T08:41:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:41:00.000-07:00I don't remember how I found your blog, but I'm a ...I don't remember how I found your blog, but I'm a friend of Bill's for about as long as you, I'm about your age and I am definitely not a Jesuit Neuroscientist or a military Chaplain in a combat area. Still, the similarities outweigh the differences and I will happily take my spiritual insights from wherever I can get them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
