That made me cry. My husband, father, and grandfather are all veterans. My Dad's reserve unit was called up and he served during the Cuban Missile Crises. My Grandfather was in the trenches in France at the end of WW I on 11/11. The story he told is that they were firing all their weapons until the moment of the end of the War. Afterwards, they came out, shook hands, and exchanged gifts - candy bars and cigarettes.
