Semper Fi

To my absent friends, Semper Fi.....
This drink is for you. In this our time of reflection I put my hands to my face and shake my head. I want to say welcome home, thank you for everything, however this time I just want to have a drink with you.
No words, just look at you. How are you doing? Are you going to be okay? This is our day, yet, a drink is called as the order. It's okay if you can't say anything, I understand. Here is to you and them.... May they only haunt in times of convenience. You are not alone.
Happy Veterans Day.....
