It hurt!!! I WAS lucky to have met the USAF's requirements to fly and was proud to serve my country for 20 years. Like most of my fellow veterans, the service was its own reward and damn few of us seek any accolades for it. We know too many people who have sacrificed everything and are forgotten. At military funerals, the widow is presented with an American flag and generally words to the affect that it's the thanks of a grateful nation. I've done that presentation. It's the only thing I think about when people thank me for my service. It seems everyone everyone wishes that they could be good at something else. I have little artistic talent and am amazed by the stuff that Douwe does with his hands and imagination. I wish I could sing barbershop harmony. Not gonna happen. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate them. One last thought... What's new? Cee over lambda. If you get that, I'm betting you never had a serious romantic relationship until at least your 20th birthday. There WERE advantages to not being a nerd. Hope to see some of you at Sun N Fun.
