Hugh, come safe home!
I cannot help thinking that without you Americans, having during WWII, fought for us Europeans - and many, many of you having given your lives - Europe had been deemed to slavery and barbarity under a Nazi or Communist regime. I was born some months before the war ended. My country was occupied by the Germans and during my childhood my parents often told me about their fears for five years.
I grew up in freedom. And for that I’m very, very grateful. Only free men can wear what they want to – and a lot of other things.
Good luck – and thank you!

Greg
