We lost a Brother 'Nam Vet recently. We attended his funeral/memorial service on the 18th, and he will be included in our toasts to lost Brother's-In-Arms tomorrow at our monthly luncheon. As it was his favorite whiskey, I bought some Crown Royal Regal Apple for our toasts. We will also salute/toast buddies that never made it home alive, plus others lost over the years of our luncheon gatherings. Five of 'em have been lost to various health problems in the last six or seven years. We are a dwindling breed.

I have my quarterly VA check-up tomorrow at 8 am.
