A picture from my promotion to Major, United States Army, while stationed in Germany, 1986 with my daughter Erin and son Kevin by my side.

This picture is for you kids.  Looks like we all were young once.

To those no longer with us, I pray for thee.
To those I knew personally who are gone, I shed a silent tear for you and your family.
To those who serve now,  I salute you.
To those  who have served willingly, I honor you.
To those who served with sacrifice, I will not forget you.
To all those who have served or are serving, let us never forget

we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers . . . .

Henry V | Act 4, Scene 3
