tears are welling up in my eyes, right now.

Back when I was in Korea, they had the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of that war. In the airport I ran into a bunch of older guys in their uniforms, and I thought about the incomparable difference between their tours and mine in Korea.

I pulled one of them aside and gave them a private word of thanks. And now I have a public word of thanks to all the veterans, and current Army personnel. Thanks.

I think that had to do with the television coverage of the fallen US soldiers paraded through the streets.
