greetings all

To all who have served, I thank you for your honorable service.

For several years now, whenever I see any of our senior members who are sporting their caps, I stop them and say the same thing.

Try it as often as possible as I've never had a bad experience and I thoroughly enjoy seeing the smiles on their faces. They've earned it and deserve it!
