Kay and I were glad to see Troy and Elka honored at the Tribute to Veterans Luncheon last Tuesday. I enjoyed Colonel John Saputo's USMCR Retired comments in favor of the Warrior Class, those of noble character, who live their lives with honor and integrity and who attack challenges when others take cover.
I thought MOAS might enjoy these related links that I turned up, which may not appeal to everyone, but are indeed relevant enough to go on the MOAS blog.
