Leon, wonderful article! Living in AR and FL I miss the lilacs and their fragrance, however, we do have gardenias! As one who has had family members in the military since the Revolutionary War, I thank you for your service.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
"The moving hand writes and having writ moves on. Neither all thy piety nor all thy wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." The Rubiyat by Omar Khayyam
