Dearest Bill,

You said, "No hero I."
Well, this is something I cannot attest to, at least re:
your WW II service. But you did in fact turn over a part of your life for the protection of us all, and you did indeed face danger, and all of us who live here in freedom now owe you and your fellow servicepeople a huge thank-you.
By the way--I think you're heroic, now.

Love,

Jackie

Max--I quite agree with you. Thank you. There are times when it is much more difficult to be a gracious recipient than a gracious donor, but just as necessary.
