Review: A great Veteran's Day read!

I noticed this novella while scrolling through picks to read this Veterans Day Weekend.  It seemed a perfect choice since one of the main characters is a WWI Vet returning from being injured in battle. That he meets a nice man on a train, while returning home from his tour of duty made it a perfect read for this holiday weekend honoring our veterans. I couldn't help but think of all of the men who served in our military for years while having to be closeted, if they were gay.  (Women too in later generations.) I am so glad that Don't Ask Don't Tell is over and now I see pictures of military couples marrying when I turn on the internet.  Imagine what a blessing it would have been back there to find "the one" on a train, without too much fan fare. It must have been so lonely back in those days without the kind of networks that became available to find a partner years  down the road.These two young men find each other and work it all out in fifty eight pages. Most of the time that is way to short for me to really "feel" the characters. Not this time. It was just right and I am sure these are a pair that will stay with me. If the author ever wishes to continue with these characters and their story, I'd love a sequel.
