    That note does not look politically incorrect to me... I would say it is a record of triumph, a soldier doing his job - very well. I applaud his success. Cheers, RickO

    I wonder if Cpl. George L. Vice was the person of that name who died in 2009 or 1997? (See the Social Security Death Index)
