I feel very uncomfortable with folks thanking me and such - more so on Memorial Day. which is a day for remembering all those who didn't come home, unlike Veteran's day, which is for all vets. That is what makes me uncomfortable, I don't deserve to be thought of in the same company as all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. So thank you, but I hope you'll take a moment to remember and honor those brave folks.
Again, I appreciate it, and those are my own thoughts, not trying to speak for anyone else.
Chip - thanks for saying that. I wanted to but did not know exactly how to. You conveyed my sentiments precisely.
