-3 regular fighting duty and sent overseas with two weeks after being commissioned. The commission, of course, won't be granted until September. I know they say that war changes men. But I don't feel changed any yet .... and doubt if I will be. A wider experience, a greater ability to handle divergent situations perhaps. I have lived long enough for that which is me to have solidified and defy any fundamental changes.

You have changed me .... not fundamentally for I was seeking when I first found you. I built you ... a place and need for you ... into my very being long before I knew
