This day, forty six years ago, we, of the 64th, were commissioned together. We had stars in our eyes, and one each on our shoulders. We changed into different berets and lanyards. Different from each other's, and different from the Academy's. Ready to take on the world in our new avatars. Nothing was impossible in our lexicon.
And, slowly the years passed. We went our ways. Some collected more stars on the shoulders, some shiny medals on the chest. Some lost their arms and limbs. Some just faded away.
How I would that we all got decommissioned together! Toss up our berets in the air on the other side. And hug each other.
