Long ago my daughter asked. "What did you do in the Vietnam War"? Sometimes on stormy nights when the power flickers, I think of men I don't even know working somewhere out-there. Somewhere in the darkness. Going about the business of keeping the lights on. What did I do in the Vietnam war? I was just punching holes in the ocean. Somewhere in the darkness. Helping keep the lights on.
