Good evening, Kathy!

Thanks very much for tonight's "Remembering Our Troops" thread! Sorry I've been out-of-pocket this evening - I was drafting an extended e-mail to one of my cousins.

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!
