Default As You
All know I was in Viet Nam and in the NAVY for 25 yrs. And as you get Older Anniversary Slip your mind. So I woke up today and my future wife says Welcome Home and Happy Anniversary. Didn't know what she was talking about............. Then she reminds me 22 years ago today I retired from 25 years active duty NAVY. Then she says to me that March 1 1973 you flew from Danang VietNam to California and when you arrived people didn't tell you Welcome Home and that we are proud of your service.
Then she says I LOVE YOU and Welcome Home and I am Very Proud of your service. Then hands me this box with this in it,

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
