My Grandfather is, and will always be my greatest and only hero . . .
He went to Europe as a 19 yr old and fought in Belgium at Passchendaele. Out of his artillery crew of 12 . . . only 2 of them came home. He became a train driver for the rest of his working life. From 10 years old he would take me to the range and taught me how to shoot.
He died in 1970 when I was 13 years old . . . and away at boarding school. My world was never the same.
He never had much because he was always "lending" his money to help someone else out. He was a kind and gentle man with a huge heart and a permanent broad smile which masked his pain.
The last thing he said to me was . . .
Sonny-jim . . . I hope you never see a war. But if you do and they ask you to go . . . be sure to tell them no.
He made me cross my heart and promise. My love for him has never died. He's the only hero I need.
I don't have a picture I can post sorry.

Sizemik, they broke the mould that made those men. We can only aspire and doesn't the planet need a few billion of them right now?
