I am lucky to have a group of friends from the previous generation who served this country. I always feel a sense of inferiority when I am with them because they are the reason for the freedoms I enjoy and I'm not always sure I'm living up to my end of the bargain when it comes to watching after them.
On Sunday I stopped by their annual celebration of the Marine Corps birthday. They cut a cake and handed the first piece to the youngest Marine, a young man I had never met I think his name was Mark, who then hands the cake to the oldest Marine, Glen a WWII and Korean war veteran.
I was introduced to matt by Glen and I said to him lets hope one day you are on the receiving end of the cake pass, that's the goal, he agreed.
Dale it was a pleasure meeting you this week and I hope one day your son can be the oldest soldier in a group. Our thoughts are with him.
