Thanks Don (on behalf of my friends and brothers who made that sacrifice). It doesn't matter whether you served or not. All that matters is that you remember what this weekend is for and honor those who made it possible for us who are here now to enjoy and engage in all the revelries and frivolities a warm-weather 3-day weekend affords in a free (for now ...) country. And I *know* that you do.
Unlike our Vice President ...
So raise a glass and ... to lost friends.
