Well put, Chat, and thanks for your service. Our generation has had too many seminal events where we can remember in an instant exactly where we were. JFK, attempt on Reagan, the moon landing, and 9/11 to name a few. I used to pray that my Grandchildren would not have to face so many but the more I deal with the so-called millennial generation, the more I think they need a wakeup call.

Mods, sorry for the off topic post. Now back to Dim Sum.
