For those of us that partake (and those that don't. We are all family), let us lift our glasses in remembrance...

"To absent friends."

A toast to the only two in TF Rogue (1-64) we lost in DS/DS, Andy Alanais & John Hutto, and to all other absent brothers in arms (meant to be gender neutral). They will never be forgotten.

Respect. No one will truly appreciate everything you have been through except for another veteran. Didn't do it for the pay (that's for sure) or for some sense of entitlement, but responded to a calling. Freedom isn't free. It's easy to complain about what is wrong in your country but it takes a very special person to wear a uniform and surrender your freedoms to ensure that they will remain available for future generations. I love you all.

Capt Ted Harduvel. "Gamble." 80th TFS Juvat. Flew into a cloud somewhere between Kunsan AB and one of the ranges. Absent since 15 Nov 82. "To absent friends."

Here is a "toast to a great American." A PJ who pushed through jungle canopy to rescue downed aircrew from capture. Most decorated enlisted man. He was brave enough to come out as gay.
