...a few of my thoughts on our arrival back in Vancouver. First, it was the breakup of the Unit which for nearly two years had been like a family to me. Secondly, the joy of returning home was dampened by the memories of those who did not return. Little did I realize that this would always remain with me.
There are [other thoughts] such as fear of the unknown and surviving and being unable to explain why.
Stu McKim
