Yesterday I was told that neighbor of mine - a very friendly guy in his late 60s and a fellow Army vet - recently passed away alone in his apartment. Aside from being older, he was obese and certainly at risk of getting of getting COVID, so he was anxious to get the vaccine. My buddy (who used to check up on him from time to time, as they live in the same building) had called him recently - apparently he wasn't feeling well after getting the second shot - but insisted there was nothing to worry about. A week or so later he was dead.

I joined up almost 30 years (August of 1991) - still seems like yesterday, though! My service left a lasting impression on me (both good and bad).
