My Dad
was a pacifist during World War II, but was required to go.
He was
in the infantry and on the way to the front lines, the war ended.
Thank
God, because he told us “I will never shoot another young man who may be a
father just like me.”
I was
2 yrs old and aware he might never come home to us.
The
rest of his life was devoted to making connections and helping everyone.
We
hosted 5 American Field Service teens for a year in our home and many others
for brief visits.
My
folks traveled to 85 countries to build friendship and deeper understanding.
My Mom
continued to correspond with all they met annually through the rest of her
life.
They
always offered everyone a place to stay and meals, and sent anyone away.
They
were truly ambassadors for peace and goodwill in our world.
