Many years ago he got involved in some highly secretive military actions when he was too young to understand the implications. It tortured him the rest of his his life and he had no where to get help. There are many men who have served our country and while they do not get the honours of being recognized for their service they still have quietly and painfully died for their country. <BR/><BR/>Peter died, September 23, 2007 and November 11, 2007 was one of the hardest days of my life. It is almost a bitter day as I know that he died in vain and without the respect he deserved.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving me this opportunity to speak up.<BR/><BR/>P.S. The children are smiling more and more as they know their dad is finally at peace and it is okay to go on with their lives.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350246973678673184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899481918176975839.post-65540888834364295222008-11-14T20:32:00.000-04:002008-11-14T20:32:00.000-04:00Tim,Dare I say it, but your speech very well may h...Tim,<BR/><BR/>Dare I say it, but your speech very well may have been a tribute to the fallen soldier in the photo - - - SHORT but sweet.<BR/>Thank you so much for your views and opinions that are expressed so eloquently here. I wish I could have been there to watch and enjoy your speech, but I must say, upon reflection, your blog post of today is filled with so much emotion and captures the TRUE meaning of Remembrance, in that you have brought the story of the Short family to the rest of us and now 'we' collectively can have these images to remember on this special day.<BR/>Thank you for your insight and graciousness. I hope that you're feeling better.<BR/>Kindest regards,<BR/><BR/>Tim L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899481918176975839.post-12181239087190416422008-11-14T10:06:00.000-04:002008-11-14T10:06:00.000-04:00Tim,The passage that you read was short but VERY t...Tim,<BR/><BR/>The passage that you read was short but VERY to the point.
