You know you look back at the Remembrance Day service, yes we didn’t lose anybody in the Persian Gulf but they mention, you know, the various peacekeeping operations and the Korean War and everything but they never really mention the Persian Gulf and yes it was a stressful deployment. There were trials and tribulations involved and I think based on all our preparations was part of the reason why it was a success that it was. But when I look at the fact that they were able to get together on the 25th anniversary, I just find it hard to believe it’s been 25 years. It only seems like yesterday. But it’s humbling and it’s, I find it’s just, it’s very, it helps build up one’s pride to know that you are thought of and that that operation was a turning point and that it was a notable point in history.
