Honestly, I dont think any of us could imagine that without being there ourselves. I for one would rather not imagine it as it would be to painful to think of. I can picture it in my head but I cant attach any emotion to it other than feeling sorry for those who didnt return. How does one comprehend such an undertaking without having been there to witness the destruction that was inflicted. I commend you on being able to recall events that must have taken a terrible toll on the mind and probably still do today.
