Veteran's Day
With malice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we are in,
to bind up the nation’s wounds,
to care for him who shall have borne the battle
and for his widow, and his orphan,
to do all which may achieve and cherish
a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

And the answer, of course, is YES, I do indeed know that guy in the picture, although he's about 22, and I'm more than 30 years older than that.
