Bunch of "gotcha" questions she knew the answers to.

As to the Korea issue I'm pretty sure he was thinking: "I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years."

Are you sure you watched the linked video? The video was a graduation commencement speech. nothing about Korea.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I've had his quote as my Signature for approx. a decade.

The first time I lived in Houston, the senior pastor at my church made a name for himself at Texas A&M. Rick Rigsby was also a professor and chaplain at Texas A&M at that time so the two knew each other. Approx. once a year my church would have Rick Rigsby as a guest preacher and it was always inspirational and memorable.

My personal Hero was a 3rd grade drop out who went into the coal mines of the Appalachians to help out his family, my Father. Who though badly wounded in WWII. And while so wounded saved 4 of his men who also were wounded by physically dragging them from the battle field under morter and machine gun fire. He then was sent home and overcame his battle disabilities,provided for his family and tought us about how much love can overcome all. A peaceful powerful man that my future bride idolized in church where he was a Deacon as the ideal family man. Was probably the only reason she ever went out with me as I indeed married up. Yep just another War Hero 3rd grade drop out. Who always provided everything his family needed. And was always there for friends and strangers. Always. Till he was here no more. Thanks for the post. It brought home many memories of good and hard times we shared together. And he is always just a thought away .
