Thank you for your service.

It was my honor, and a great experience. I lived in Germany for four years, and had the time of my life.

It continues to pay off today. For the fun of it, I'm taking a wine at viticulture class at the local CC. In a few weeks, I'll be giving a presentation on German wines, at the request of the professor. Although he refers to me as the "German expert", I reply that I'm merely the grizzled veteran of dozens of winefests on the Mosel.
