Me almost a complete "ditto" of yours reignmaker! But I like "A hero's welcome" just a little more better... That was some turnout and not what most of our soldiers see or experience in their life times.
And when I have a little stronger imbibing to do - wine "spritzers" (local wines mixed with diet sprite) or JD, JB, GD, Seagrams' 7 or CR again mixed with either diet coke or diet sprite. A small shot to a large glass - is awesome - at times... I love the Budweiser hitch, I love their horses and place and their vids, but just can't stomach beer.
