Thanks for your words guys... and Tom, as you said, it was my privilege to serve 20 years... and there is no honor that could describe my gratitude for those who made sacrifices for our way of life... in the past, and even today.
I was honored to be present at the award of a Army Commendation Medal for valor in combat at church on Sunday to a returned Army Specialist 4th class who so humbled by the event that he couldn't speak... Neither could I. I don't know why it is that when my eyes are wet, my mouth doesn't work very well...
