Tears
Apart from the daily agony of my wife ripping out my still beating heart and squeezing it in her evil twisted hands then shoving back only to do it again and again...........

......I too cried when I visited the Normandy war graves, US and UK, last summer. The big US cemetry and all the little UK plots. I would find a Scottish soldier in his early 20's killed on the first day of the Landings and a tear would well up. I took my kids who I dont really think realised the importance of what they were witnessing but one day they should.

The definate last day I cried was when the Black Watch marched through Perth High Street with baynoets fixed and the Colours unfurled, kilts swinging to the Tunes of Glory. Seeing the battle honours such as Lucknow, Waterloo, Arras, Ypre, El Alamein, and Korea, was a stirring sight.
I was so very proud of them.
