A few toasts:

To my Father's generation, for saving the world...

To those of my Father's generation who paid the ultimate price
for our freedom...

To all those of my generation, who as a result were never born..

To my hero, my next door neighbor Ken Taylor, who was a back seat gunner
in one of the SBD dive bombers that sank the Jap carriers at the battle
of Midway. Ken was later put ashore with the rest of his air group on
Guadalcanal and got shelled virtually point blank by Jap battleships. He
is one of a quickly-vanishing few WWII vets still with us. If you know
one, don't miss a chance to say "thanks."
