Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

Memorial Day
Our good friend, Victoria, a WAC (Woman's Army Corp), loved Memorial Day--mainly that she could give various non-military types a block of instruction on the fact that Memorial Day was to honor those who had paid the ultimate price for their country. She would emphasize that other holidays honored soldiers. This one, Memorial Day, is for those, in her words, "who have passed." Victoria has passed.
