Yeah, thank you. I remember the boots. The boots were a real particular pain in the ass. It wasn't really a great boot, it was a black boot. You had to have them lice this right way, but you had to make them shine and the way you did that was with black wax and you heat it up. You'd actually take a big plier, stick it in the wax, make sure it's lit, let it burn for a few seconds, then cover it with a lid, take it out, have a nice soft cloth and you dab it on your fingers or on the cloth on your finger and you rub that stuff in all over the place and then you'd buff it out and you'd shine it to the point where you could practically see yourself as you look down at your boots. I can't tell you how many hours of that I did. I absolutely hated boots, but it had to be done, you know, and that's what we did. So to finish up what I think I would want to say is, you know, the Department of War as they call it now, I believe when it was the Department of Defense, that was actually done by Congress and I cannot remember, I'm gonna do some research on it when I get back home, but I believe there was a specific reason why they did that and the same thing with like the Gulf of Mexico and now the Gulf of America. I think that was also done by Congress, maybe not, but I do know the Department of War was changed for a really specific reason. Now when it comes to P, the Secretary of War and that meeting that all the generals and animals went to, we watched that pretty much all the way through and I'll give you this, okay? As you guys know, I am a photographer and I make stories up with my photography and I put it on my website and so I'm always looking at pictures and there was a picture of Pete at that meeting sitting on the front row and all the generals and admirals and everything that was around him, they were sitting up straight and tall, non-expressions on their face, looking extremely professional and not giving signs of agree or disagree and Pete was sitting next to these people in a chair and he was slouched. He had a big smile on his face and he looked like he was a little boy that was just really proud of himself for saying what he said, like everybody's gonna respect him and I'm gonna work on it. I gotta give a good story on that one. I will share it sometime in the future but it really told me a lot about our Department of War Secretary. Anyhow, have a wonderful day guys. KV0MAI, I'm outta here.
