    Re: Got my marching orders.

    Typical,

    When I retired last August after 23 years of service, an old friend of mine sent this quote to me, and now I pass it on to you. I don't know who the author is, but the truth of it rings clear.

    "A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve – is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life".

    Enjoy your retirement, you earned it.
