“The Army doesn’t have enough older folks,” Griffin said. “There’s nobody around to talk about history or to give perspective.”Griffin said the Soldiers like the stories and experience, and are comfortable having someone around who has lived through what they live through, who can share their fears and anxieties.
I think everyone needs a person like Griffin around, no matter how old.
Neat blog :)
