God Bless 'em all.....and God bless those leaders with the vision and courage to commit American troops "over there" and confront until victorious a very dangerous enemy in the face of many naysayers on the home front....
Belated happy birthday to Rick's Dad and Bobda. I've never known anyone else with a May 31 birthday until now, and at once I learn of two guys with the same birthday. Cool! Bobda, you're just a kid, born on the leading edge of the rock & roll era. Same for you, George. Terry, I guess it's a back door compliment to say that I had no idea you are only two years behind me. I thought you were about mid 50s.
