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.

A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

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.
