Swords up, as tears flow! Sounds to me as if you are clearly related and his influence runs deep, but in the ways that keep you outspoken, writing to inspire making this world better... and, yes, sticking the chin out while, in one way or another, you call, "You're not the boss of me!" And at the base lives unconditional love.. we learn about that from flawed people who can screw up, who see us screw up, but who never waiver in that love. Oops. Rambling. This inspired me. A different spin on Memorial Day. Take care today.

Thank you for the reminder that there are more important things to think about today than getting ready for this afternoon’s cookout. Like your father my brother died years after the Vietnam war ended of a cancer linked to Agent Orange. He served 4 years in the Navy then went back into service in the Army. He was born the year after I was. We were supposed to grow old together. I will miss him always.
