Not Ranked
About one and a half years ago I was at a meeting in Minneapolis and a bunch of us were at a table sitting and an Army Captain came over to a table and said "whoever picked up my tab, Thank You". I did.
At the airport in Vegas on the way back from the Stones concert there were 5 Air Force soldiers at the restaurant, if you can call it that, that got their tab.
At the Shelby Cafe - the day I dropped off my SGT for the supercharger that was destined for the BJ auction last January that went for the CSCF - I stopped to have a bowl of the greatest red bean chile - and picked up a tab for a table of Nellis AFB. I asked the waitress not to say anything. When I got up to leave they all stood up and saluted. I guess the server ratted me out.
I didn't have to go to 'Nam. My lottery number was way high. Some guys I went to high school didn't come back.
And to Sgt. June, one of the first Code Talkers, thank you for my friend Frank.
