Tradition dictates I say some words over your broken down Air Frame.
"O' GRITS (Great Ranger In The Sky) here cometh before us a warrior of some repute. Give him retirement and a pot belly, heal his aching muscles with some heavy doses of TRIM, meaty sammiches, and a loyal dog to lick his toes. May he live a year or two past his retirment date and grant that his dick works once he finds a bed to sleep in. Amen.
Now, as for that "OLD shit.....shut the fuck up. YOu knew some of the guys. You know (or knew) Joe Alderman?

The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity – even under the most difficult circumstances – to add a deeper meaning to his life.
