Sir Ornery of Thornery,

I salute your courage and straightforwardness. It is sorely needed. It is a breath of fresh air, a cool drink on a hot day.

And, I join you in honoring the brave men and women who have served and do serve in the Armed Forces of the United States. Heroes all.

Your servant,
gene long

I also salute the veterans of our armed forces. Those who served, and those who gave their "last full measure of devotion." Truly, we are indebted to you all.

To my grandfathers who served in WW2 as part of the "Greatest Generation", thank you! To my uncle, who was in Patton's Army as they rushed towards Berlin: thank you!

To those who presently serve, sacrificing their lives and are separated from their loved ones: THANK YOU!

To the sister of OT: I always knew you'd end up on the front-lines! I was proud to know you then, grateful for the opportunity to call you "friend", and amazed at your determination to be different, to walk to the beat of your own drum. Kudos to you!

OT, I solute your sister and all other veterans to whom we owe the greatest debt of gratitude for our freedoms.

Thank you verterans for enduring things that we can't even imagine. Thank you for your sacrifice. To OT's sister, I must have been on furlough the year you were expelled. I am not remembering this. I guess I should have gotten expelled many times for the same thing.
What rebels we were.

After I went to bed, you were quite busy.
And thanks for the history!
