David,
This was a brilliant collaboration that you created. It was truly heartfelt and informative. I am inspired to taste the wines that you have selected and to ponder our grandfather’s experience whilst toasting between each cupful to all those who have served to preserve our freedom.
Thank you for sharing this.

Magnificent job, David. Your grandfather would have been quite proud of you and your efforts, as you clearly were of his.
