You are very welcome! Wouldn't have had it any other way.

For those who gave the last full measure

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

My wife and I visited her dad near Santa Barbara this weekend, and after church I approached a 97 year old vet (Bill Muncaster) who was a 29 year old Captain in the 99th Division HQ when the Battle of the Bulge started. He was skeptical of my knowledge of the battle, assuming all I knew about was Patton and Bastogne. He had no hearing so I communicated with pen and notepad.

When I told him the name of the little village he was stationed in when he couldn't remember himself, he knew I was OK and drove me ( :shock: !) to his home to show me all his memorabilia and told me many stories of his amazing life. What a fantastic experience that was. He was still a pretty good driver too...
