Every year since 1969 I have hoisted a beer to fallen comrades. As time passed, I included fallen friends from the IC. The first group gave their lives protecting our way of life and are memorialised on the Wall. The second group is sometimes buried in unmarked graves but also gave their lives for the rest of us. A Toast: we are brothers and someday we will all be reunited. Till then Ill hoist this beer in your honor. Vertrans of all era, feel free to raise your glass with me.
