Almost any veterans of foreign wars can tell you war stories, especially after a couple of beers.

I don't talk about being a prisoner of war unless I'm with these two men right here. They understand me.

If it happens, it happens, ... we're not looking specifically for Iraq war veterans.

And the Sonoma County veterans who have died in war to date have all been men. We didn't pick it, that's the way it is.

Almost every war ends, properly, with its veterans feeling deceived and pointless and gullible, with their being persuaded that all participants were equally vile.

Most of the World War II veterans are in their 80s now, and many are dying. Their families are putting some of their possessions up for bid on eBay.
