I regret that I will not live to see;

1. “Car Bomb” being a common usage term for any car using gasoline.

2. Genocide being only discussed in history books and not in the daily news.

3. Men from Mars and Women from Venus.

4. Equal pay for equal work regardless of sex or age or race.

5. An understanding of why I survived Vietnam and so many others did not; there or after coming back.

6. A world without hunger and disease.

7. One of my descendants being President of the United States or winning a Noble prize for Science, Peace or Poetry.

8. My kids without health issues.

9. Senators Susan Collins of Maine or Lisa Murkowski of Alaska or Tera Boyd of California becoming President of the United States.
