Lines: 21 Sam had been a soldier at war for more than three years, during which he had been in many battles and won many decorations. He was finally discharged from service and returned home to his wife and son whom he hadn't seen in almost four years. As he was walking up the path to his house, his young son had spotted him and yelled out to his mother, "Mommy, Mommy, here comes Daddy, and he's got a purple heart on!" to which the mother replied, "I don't give a damn what color it is! Let him in, and you go play at the Joneses' for a couple of hours." -- Russ Sehnoutka --------- AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!ihu1e!genesis ------ Naperville, Illinois
