No Jim I can't say I've ever stood in a mess hall line. I've set up tents with boy scouts in the rain, does that count?
I was thinking about you guys today, and all that you've been through. I heard a song where the singer was saying he wouldn't be the man he is today if he hadn't done what he did when he was a kid. Our pasts make us who we are today. All the good and all of the bad. The guys I met this weekend are really a great group of men. I thank god you were there for my brother and he was there for you. And now I am VERY thankful I've gotten to know all of you, and my life is much richer because of you. Ok have I gotten sappy enough?
