Thanks to all veterans who serve now and in the past.
Dad left college and joined the Army Air Corps after Pearl Harbor. He wound up in England, responsible for servicing several B17's. Earned a DSC for innovative maintenance techniques on the engines, rose to Master Sergeant, and met my mom there.

� still want to � eat everything with a big GI spoon. Never got the chance to try MREs, which I've heard called "meals rejected by Ethiopians" and "three lies for the price of one," but I've ingested a lot of aged World War Two C-rations on forest fires. Some were edible, none palatable � but they kept us working and alive � sort of. Eating some of the stuff in those old cans and packets was down-right inhumane and in some cases even self-flagellation. By far the best thing in those ancient C-ration boxes was those neat little can-openers. I saved 'em all, gave a bunch away, and still have some around here somewhere. I think that there's one on my key chain.
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
