that our grandfathers fought Germany in WWI...our fathers fought Germany and Japan in WWII...and some among us fought the Vietnamese, all with tremendous loss of life and incredible damage to those who survived....in the aftermath, my Dad (B17 Pilot in WWII) ended up driving a VW Bug to work (one that I later used senior year at ND)...I have owned a BMW and more than a couple of Japanese cars...our recently purchased End Table was manufactured in Vietnam...can someone explain why we had to go through all that "fuss", only to end up as business partners?
Thanks, Frank...we'll definitely check it out....you know, occasionally the thought enters my mind
