I'm surprised you didn't hear my screams all the way down in Texas!!!!!

Actually, I heard some gosh-awful noise, but I just thought it was Aeronaut breaking the sound barrier again.

Am glad you can spend some time with us today though.

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are
leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them,
though you may or may not have always.


Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment
to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."
