Stop in for a cup of coffee

Not much happening here, in super slo mode. Sipping whiskey and toasting lost Brothers. Our boys generation inks the KIA date on their arms with the Brothers name. I think that is a neat new tradition. Being in a military family is both a blessing and a curse. The non military folks always in a gesture of respect wish Vets a good Holiday. Sadly this day is not for us, it is for the ones who did not come home. And quite frankly for the men and women who came home, but ultimately lost a bigger battle in their minds. This thread has so many Vets on it no need to explain that any further. Best thread ever, thanks.
I am lucky to say I have not lost any close family to war. Having done a good bit of genealogy research, I know my family participated heavily in the Revolution - even then there were few if any casualties among them. A few of Dads siblings were in WWII. (He was too young, but joined the Army in 47 on his 18th birthday) Found out yesterday his oldest brother is now in hospice at age 95. He and my aunt have been in assisted living for a while and he has dementia which has become quite bad recently. He was not doing good and was spending much of his time separate from her and has now got covid 19 on top of too many other problems. So thinking about him today...
