The demons never really go away, you know. They may shrink. Or they may grow. But they never, ever disappear.

Great write-up of a great story, Rocky!
Please continue every year.
I've met, and watched the demise of, service men from The Roughriders on to present - and shed tears over many.

God bless them all. May their demons finally be quiet and their souls finally be at Peace. Worth a repeat. God bless them all. Peace, CT

Bump, because today's the day.
I had a quiet moment outside at dawn, and I'll tip a stiff drink at sunset in memory of the brothers I flew with, the brothers on the ground I supported, and the brothers I never knew, all lost in the defense of my country.
