Ron, I ran into a great young guy today after the Hartford Veterans Day parade. Home a few months after 18 months Afghanistan, 6 months Iraq, and just re-joined the NG. Knows he's going back, seems to want to go without admitting it to us or to himself. Sounded spooky familiar, y'know?

Could tell by look and talk, real deal.

Told him what was up with the package project and asked for any suggestions, what was important.

He thought and got a little serious for a minute, said, "Mail."

"Just mail."

Some things never change, eh?

If we do anything, we can help make sure that nobody here at home forgets that we have these fine young people doing our dirty work for us.

Bob,
mailing here, boss
