How often have I sat around with friends my age and complained about the next generation?  How often have we worried about how they will manage to maintain normality when they do not have basic skills?  Well it turns out that they have basic skills and more.  They are overcoming amazing obstacles, especially our government.  In every aspect of our lives right now it is the next generation that is winning this war.  They are not only the fighters, the communicators, the chefs, the doctors, the healers, and all that.  And they are doing it all with such dedication and originality, I can only admire them.

We are also losing them in the defence of our country.  Each one a gem, fighting from love of their country, not hatred of their enemies.  

I am humbled by every one I meet.
