#vetrans day

[booksandwords]

The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who’d really fought.

The Narrator, Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death (Kurt Vonnegut) With the full book title and quote because the librarian in me finds those details most important. Just because the quote acknowledges a specific place doesn’t make it any less universally true.

I just wanted to give out a special thanks to my grandfather for his service in the Vietnam war when he was 18
