    Lee, thank you so very much for posting this.  I hope you don't mind; I
have copied and pasted this post of yours, along with the appropriate
hyperlink, to a few social networking sites where some people that will truly
appreciate it and be inspired by it will see it and, in turn, spread it
themselves.  I figured you wouldn't mind the second hand fame.  ;)
    Happy Veteran's Day.  :)
