Good evening, Dave, and thanks. We have military men and women, past and present, all over the world.

We want them to be noticed, to be recognized, to be honored, wherever they are stationed, whatever their job.

And we thank you, as well, for your service to our country.

A good week? Ready for the weekend? We are supposed to have rain for 3 days.
