Hi Richards

A sad time in the history of our great country, two guys from the unit I served in was killed in the December 1977 (To say that they should have been back in SA if it wasn't for the generals who decided to extend the January 1977 intake from one year to two years (with no bonuses as we didn't join two years voluntary)). Another friend of mine Leon Truter (alias Chappies) from Alexander Bay was killed in 1979.

Don't even mention the bull@#$% about victory parades and parties the ministers attended at Cuito Cuanavale last year to celebrate the "victory over the apartheid forces" on my/out tax monies.

I/we will salute the fallen and pray for the ones who battles with physical scars and mental trauma, on both sides of the conflict as the "enemy" was youngsters just like us in the hands of the "other" generals with their own ideologies and propaganda.

Best regards

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'..holy sh*t ..what a ride!
