He often told stories of one roommate who lost half an arm, vertically, who was very jumpy during snowplow season here in New York. And my Dad did keep in touch with many. When my Dad got sick, that former roommate actually came to visit, brought his then wife along. There are smiling photos taken during that visit.

And I can't help but wondering what those who are serving now feel about the continuing humiliation from TFG.
