       Lee, thank you so very much for posting this.  I hope you don't mind; I   
   have copied and pasted this post of yours, along with the appropriate   
   hyperlink, to a few social networking sites where some people that will truly   
   appreciate it and be inspired by it will see it and, in turn, spread it   
   themselves.  I figured you wouldn't mind the second hand fame.  ;)   
       Happy Veteran's Day.  :)   
      
      -- Greetings, NSA, and best wishes
