Indeed. It is fitting and proper that we should do so.

I would add a little more on a personal note.

There are those to whom we have sent cigars to in combat zones who did not make it home. I'm particularly thinking of one of the first Dust Off coordinators who died when his helicopter took, I believe, an RPG.

There are men and women in harms way today so that I can enjoy the freedoms that allow me to have friends over to share cigars and eat well. Not all will make it back.

You have not died in vain.
