WWII soldiers were there for the duration.

The father of a friend of mine didn't see his oldest son until he was almost four years old.


(and yes, he was his son ;) )
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
