Sir, thank you for a lifetime of dedicated service. I can not imagine the horror you must have witnessed, the lives and property you saved..........but the people whom you served, whether they ever say it or not, appreciate everything you've done.
Please enjoy retirement, and spend the rest of your years on things that really matter: serving God (can I say that here?), and enjoying your family, friends, and favorite pastimes.
Thanks for the knowledge you've imparted on me, and the other members of this forum, and please continue to do so, along with sharing your finds.
Good luck, and Godspeed.
Roger
