Life Quote by Ed Kugler

“I divorced myself from the dead guy. I decided that life in Nam was just that way. Whatever emotions I had, needed a cement vault to hide in. And they would hide, even if I had to push them in and shut the door. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Winners got up in the morning; losers didn’t.” quote by Ed Kugler — Download Open image
