"David and I were classmates all through school. We have corresponded by e-mail for a while now, telling lies about how great the old days were and talking politics. I always thought the day would come when we could meet again at one of the reunions. Now, I'm sure we'll meet at that last reunion in Heaven. Rest in peace, my friend.

David always liked talking about his military days. R.I.P. my friend.
