This is where I talk about a crusty old retired military guy trying to come to terms with the world
Life is Hard. Wear a Helmet.
Life is Hard. Wear a Helmet
Virginia State Constitution: Article 1; Section 13 That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Between Now and Then
I've always had trouble fitting in with Mrs B's family.
They're honest with each other, and share their feelings and stuff like that.
---------------------------------------
Memorial service is at noon Saturday, lots of stuff to do between now and then.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses. He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brings them to their desired haven.

Continuing to think of you(but not sending any hugs:)Wish I could do more!
Be safe!
The man was a swabbie...he's alright in my book. Hope you and Mrs B and her family are all doing okay.
Condolences to Mrs B.

Fair winds and following seas.
Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate. Enjoy your final Liberty Port, you've earned it.
Fair wind and following seas to him. Thoughts and prayers for y'all.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to offer condolences.
I showed Mrs B, and she was really touched.
Back home now, and back to the grindstone.
Damned if that photo doesn't remind me of my father's Korean photos.
May the sorrow be short and the memories happy and long.
