I've been at Fort DeRussy, Waikiki area, seen so many veterans old and young there, wondered what their stories were, what all they have seen, done.

A fantastic story of human connection, both it's tenacity and its frailty, caught as we are with the inadequacies of polite talk with those random strangers who in some ways have already changed our lives. How to express gratitude is indeed a difficult question.

I can visualize the kindness not so much in the act but really in the words, “I do not mean to bother you” and “…not meaning that you go with me”. This WWII Veteran is our salvage and in him I see a world much better, kind and refined.
