Hope you're well today, Dr Dave.

Thanks, Stryc. Dave, hats off to you and the many on this board and everywhere that have served and especially those that gave all.

It still eats at me to have been sitting in a barracks lounge, half a world away, and not being able to do a fucking thing about it. My hat is still off to all of those that were there.

And we have troops there now, again.

I missed my ticket to go there but have 3 friends there now working for DOD.

I surely hope no repeat mistakes are made.
