Thank you Bill. As you probably know from our past hours “talking” this post from you does not surprise me. As I’ve stated before you are a very “patriotic” person! More so than most folks I know (not counting the dogs here). You never forget ALL those from any country who served.

Having never met I, once again, because of our night long chats (again over many many nights) consider you not someone from another country with similar ideas/thoughts, but as a “Brother in arms” even though you haven’t served in a military.

If for no other reason than that, I salute you as one of us. As Tom would say Semper Fi frater meus.
