Belly up to the bar folks. Drinks are on the house if you are honoring someone you lost in the armed forces or someone you want to send good wishes to for the job they did or are doing.
To my great uncle who was wounded in WWII.

To my beloved Father W.R. Stoker Sr, WW II and Korea you are always missed.
I hoist a glass in his memory..
A glass raised to all who served - ever.
Another one raised for my cousins who served in Vietnam, FIL who served in Korea, father and all my uncles who all served in WWII and Pearl Harbor, grandfathers who served in WWI, etc.
And yet another to the gentleman outside Safeway today who kissed my cheek for donating a sawbuck to the VFW and got a kiss back; and to all his disabled buddies who still do battle to this day in oh so many ways.
And finally, here's to Chew ... we need to send you after OBL.

I'll drink to that, and a happy belated birthday to the jarheads on the forum. :cheers:
Agreed. And a glass to all (my relatives included) who died in various concentration camps - and to those who survived to tell the truth. "Never to forgive, never to forget" is based not in a lack of compassion, but on a fear that forgiveness leads to forgetting, and forgetting leads to repeats of such atrocities.
Well said Kacey...Bravo..

Raise a glass and join me please.
A year ago today my dad went in for heart surgery. Although he never recovered and didn't pass away until February of this year, I feel that today truly marks the day I lost him.
During the three plus months he was in Intensive Care, I saw only glimpses of his personality. It was one of compassion, love and most of all humor. His ability to laugh at himself warmed many hearts.
My dad liked nothing more then sitting at the bar and drinking a beer (or several ) with his old union buddies, "holding court" as they called it. Long discussions that would last late into the night regarding health and safety, job security and fair pay. He was a union pioneer here in Manitoba starting off as the union representative for Winnipeg Hydro, then negotiator and President of the largest Manitoba local. In his final years he was the Education Director, teaching courses on pre-retirement, negotiations and fair and ethical work practices. For years after he retired the younger union negotiators would still call on him for his opinion and wisdom, both of which he gladly shared.
To George, I love you and miss you immensely. :cheers:

Two glasses raised here, Lisa - one for your Daddy George and one for you.
:cheers:

I whole heartily agree
I'll happily raise a glass to the memory of a man much loved by his daughter.
Here's to George. Sounds like a decent guy, even for a Canadian.
